I bought a new laptop (Lenovo LOQ 15IRX9 - Type 83DV), then I booted windows 11 iso from the official website on a USB drive, but in the installation part (in the connect to the network screen), I did not found the WIFI option and also the ethernet, after some research, it seems that I need to update the WIFI driver, but the problem that I cannot do this because the current OS on the machine is Linux based, so how can I fix this ? I need also to update the drivers of the bios but as I said the laptop current OS is linux distro,

thanks for reading and

I hope I can found a solution for that

    Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    Are you currently installing Windows form a bootable USB by booting form the USB?

    If you are, when you reach the part to set up the network, press Shift + F10 or Shift + Fn + F10 to open Command Prompt.

    Run this command and press Enter.

    OOBE\BYPASSNRO

    The PC will restart.

    There should then be a new option at the bottom of that window 'I do not have a network', select that option.

    Then setup the user account and do not add Microsoft account details to set up a local account.

    That should allow you to complete the instalaltion.

    Many thanks, Dave, also for helping anyone stuck in the same situation, after I did what Dave said, I downloaded the wifi driver from Lenovo website and put that driver in a USB and then I ran the drive on the PC, and then my WIFI enabled successfully.

    I found with my Lenovo that I needed to download the drivers available from the Lenovo website and put them on the USB boot USB.

    At customised install select Load drivers and load the driver for Wi-Fi (Intel or Realtek) then the Wi-Fi will be available. Although the option to use a local account may be best.

    Hey Dave,

    Sorry if this might be found annoying, me trying to talk to you outside of the original thread but I really need you.

    In know I said my issue was resolved but it seems my laptop was just being more stable than usual and after the driver update and a bit of use it went right back to being unstable and unuseable.

    I'm the person who's laptop was randomly shutting off.

    Really sorry to the creator of this thread, I know it might be confusing and annoying for you.
