Might want to try and recreate your bootable SB installer for Windows 11 using Windows Media creation Tools. See if that helps with your installation process. BIOS version for your motherboard, out of curiosity?

Bios F2

Motherboard too new for native network support in Win11 and since Microsoft removed 'no network connection' to proceed with installation makes it difficult. Why o why did they do that. There is a work around, hopefully command prompt still works.

Another solution to this would be to install an inexpensive WIFI adapter, or alternatively plug in a phone for USB wifi tethering. This would allow the OP to proceed with a normal installation with internet.

Thank You very much ! It worked with the mobile phone. All done 👍

Here's a little workaround for anyone having that problem and can't use the above solutions.
Install win 10 that has no mandatory internet connection to install. When you are done do a win 11 upgrade through windows update.

From what i know, the upgrade to win 11 is free if you have 10. You can even upgrade to 11 with non activated 10 and then use the 11 key to activate it.
