Hey everyone, from my latest update I’m setting up my first PC and discovered it lacks Wi-Fi. I’m planning to get a WIFI M.2 card and will need to install Intel drivers for it. I’m wondering if I can install those drivers on the same USB drive as my Windows installation, or if that would interfere with the Windows setup. I understand the Windows install needs a clean USB, but I’m unsure how to add the drivers afterward. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

It's perfectly acceptable to store the drivers on the same USB flash drive you use for the Windows setup.

When you set up Windows 11, you’ll have to perform a few tricks to get it running offline. Generally, the Wi-Fi adapter should work out of the box without needing any driver downloads. You can also use a USB drive to install it directly.

Ensure all files remain intact; then you can add any additional content to the USB.
