Hi guys

so, I've just finished building my new pc, but when it came to install Windows 11, it asked me for internet connection, without the possibility to skip. Anyway, I found a workoround on internet and could finish the installation. But then, I realised that the wifi wasn't even "visible" as option? Only ethernet:

I've also checked the device manager and there are a lot of devices that the computer doesn't recognise:

The motherboard is: MSI PRO Z790-P WIFI ATX LGA1700

Can you please tell me how to fix this?

Thanks!

You're advised to download all necessary drivers for your build/parts and have them on an USB drive to use after the OS is installed. Since you didn't have internet access, the OS didn't download and install drivers on it's own. To also add, where did you source the installer for your OS and how did you fabricate the installer? You have the Ethernet adapter shown on Device Manager meaning you can plug to your network via Ethernet cable.

I created the installer on my previous pc (on which I am writing now, as I had to reconnect it). I can't use the ethernet cable, as the pc is in a place where I can't access to the port, that's why I specifically wanted a motherboard with wifi capabilities.
I also donwloaded the last BIOS firmware for the mortherboard and updated it before even installing Windows, I thought that was all I needed? Where can I find all the other drivers?
