I just assembled a PC with an i5-13600k, MSI Z690a Pro motherboard, and installed Windows 10 using a USB key. I updated the BIOS and managed to install Windows without a product key. However, Windows reports missing network drivers needed for internet access, yet it blocks me from downloading them. What’s going wrong and can I resolve this?

Need LAN support? Make sure you choose Windows 10 64-bit.

Consider Windows 11 since it usually comes with updated drivers that work well with Ethernet right away. It also handles your CPU more efficiently and should run faster.

Make sure all necessary drivers are installed on the first PC, then move them to the second PC using a USB stick. Download every file from the link provided by Sawa Takahashi. Select only the Windows 10 64-bit edition.
