[SOLVED] Server 2019 issue with network adapter ?

[tonino2424]

Hi,

I installed windows server 2019 on an external HD and I am getting the following error

"Install a driver for your network adapter. Windows didnt detect a properly installed network adapter. You will need to reinstall the driver"

I went into tools>computer management and didnt see any issues with network adapters ?

What can i do to fix this error plz?

TIA

1. That's fine
2. Windows server OS's are NOT designed to run from external media.
3. That's not how one legally obtains a multi thousand dollar OS. Which also raises the question of where did you get the necessary license key?
4. Not a valid installation media.

That's download from Microsoft with proper registration, not obtain from a "friend".
