Morning all, apologies if this in the wrong section or even the wrong forum!
I recently purchased the ASUS Vivobook S15 S5504VA, it came with a 512gb NVMe M.2 SSD and the operating system is full of bloatware so I wanted to do a clean install. I've also swapped the 512gb drive out for a 1TB (which is detected in BIOS) but whenever I try and do a fresh install of Windows 11 (from a USB device) it first can't see the new drive (I can get around this by loading driver) but then I get stuck at the let's connect you to a network screen. I've seen workarounds such as pressing Shift + F10 to get the command prompt but I can't type anything as the keyboard doesn't work either!
I inserted some drivers in to a Windows 11 ISO and the drive is detected without the need to load driver now but I still can't find any networks I assume due to not having the driver installed even though I added it to the ISO.
The SSD I installed was a WD_BLACK SN850X 1TB NVMe M.2 SSD, the WiFi card is the Intel AX211.
The laptop does not have an ethernet port so is WiFi only.

Any suggestions very much appreciated.
