Hi:

Most likely W11 does not have the Wi-Fi driver included in the installation files.

That presents a problem since you have to have an internet connection to continue setting up W11.

However, there is a trick you can do to get around that issue and that is to set up a local account.

See this link for how to do that.

Then you can install the Wi-Fi driver afterward and everything should be OK.

I can't find any specs on your notebook, but it probably comes with the one of the Realtek Wi-Fi 6 adapters.

Here's the latest driver for whatever model Realtek Wi-Fi 6 adapter your notebook comes with:
