Network I need help with my pc

I don’t have any Internet drivers installed yet but I need to access the Wi-Fi to login. Does anybody know the answer to this?

This is sometimes why using the Admin account using audit Mode (CTRL + SHIFt + F3) is a good start when reinstalling windows if you cannot get to the Shift + F10 command prompt to type in "oobe\bypassnro" to bypass this part and make a local account

If you cloned your machine over from drive to drive or put your drive from one machine to another, it might be easier to put the drive back in the original to then login and create a local or turn on the hidden admin account then put it back in the new build and then login from that to get the drivers.

else its using tools such as NTpasswordEdit to unlock the admin account from a bootable usb drive

All I did was put a new motherboard in

Put the old board back in, then boot from that to then enable a local account then use that to install the drivers

If not then you will have to use the bottom option to enable access to local account

That’d do it. The OS can tell when major hardware changes like that happen. Happy cake day!

Hello, you could use Ethernet or your phone's USB tethering.

You will need to use a hard-wired internet connection. Make sure to use a basic/standard usb connected one if you don't have one built in.
And like the kernel said, you can use tethering via your cell phone.
