I am setting up my internet connection for my laptop. Should I choose connect automatically?

I have just received my laptop.  Do I need to choose connect automatically which was already checked when I opened the screen, when trying to setup my internet connection or do I choose another option?

@Jalane,

If you are having difficulty connecting to the internet during the Windows 11 initial setup, you can use a workaround to bypass the internet requirement and use a local account to continue the setup.

Download your wifi driver file to a USB drive and install it on the notebook from the USB drive afterwards. If you want to use a Microsoft account, you can switch to it from the local account.
