What is the full model number or product number of your notebook?

 

Can you get into Windows and just need the Wi-Fi drivers or are you trying to finish setting up W11 and there is no internet connection?

 

If you are trying to finish setting up W11 and have no internet connection, read the info at the link below to bypass the requirement for an internet connection and set up a local account.

After you finish setting up W11 you will have to use another PC to download the Wi-Fi driver file, copy the file to a USB flash drive, then copy the file to your PC's Windows desktop, and run the file to install the Wi-Fi driver.
