Microsoft Windows 11

I bought a new notebook (ProBook 430 G8) it came with free DOS. I managed to install windows 11, but since could not connect wi-fi no drivers installed (also wi-fi itself).
How can I install drivers? Only have one USB port, no wi-fi. 
In network menu Bluetooth show up, but I have no Bluetooth to connect to to get download drivers.

Hi:

 

If you are stuck at the part where you can't set up Windows because you don't have a network connection, see this link for how to complete the setup without an internet connection.

 

Skip to step 18.

 

How to bypass internet connection to install Windows 11 - Pureinfotech

 

If you have already set up Windows and can get into the device manager, and just need the Wi-Fi driver, please post the hardware ID for the device you see labeled as a Network Controller in the device manager.  

 

That is the Wi-Fi card that needs a driver.

 

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

 

How to Find Drivers for Unknown Devices in the Device Manager (howtogeek.com)

 

Once you provide that information, I can post the link to the Wi-Fi driver for the model Wi-Fi adapter your notebook comes with.

 

You will have to download the driver from another PC, copy it to a USB flash drive and run the file from the flash drive.

 

Then after you get the Wi-Fi driver installed, you can install the rest of the drivers you need from your notebook's support page.
