newly installed win10 via flashdrive, but unlike previous win11 installation, it doesn't detect any wifi.

I've likely wiped some drivers or something, but I'm no tech-person, so any help is appreciated.

PC specs:

Ryzen 7 5800xt 3.80ghz

Team T-Force Delta RGB 32GB ram

Gigabyte B550M gaming x wifi6

GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 5060 WINDFORCE OC 8G

Thermaltake Smart 700W 80+ White Certified PSU

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Internet and connectivity

Hi,

The driver likely didn't load automatically with Windows, so you'll need to install it manually from the Gigabyte website: https://www.gigabyte.com/br/Motherboard/B550M-GAMING-X-WIFI6/support

While this is not a Microsoft website, it is the official site of [Gigabyte/ B550M GAMING X WIFI6].

Let me know if it works.

Thanks.
