Hello, recently I attempted reinstalling windows 11 through the official media installer. After reinstalling I have found that nothing except my keyboard and screen function. There are also multiple unknown drivers showing errors in device manager. I have attempted to use a usb to ethernet cable. It is not working.

Hi:

 

If your notebook is less than 5 years old, use the HP cloud recovery tool to make a bootable USB recovery drive that will reinstall Windows, the drivers and the software that originally came with your notebook.

 

Here is an info link for how to use the utility.  You will need a 32 GB flash drive for this.

You can download the software from the Microsoft store:

Otherwise, I suggest that you post the full model number or product number of your notebook and also post the hardware IDs for the devices that need drivers.

Use this guide for how to find the hardware ID for a device:
