I've been trying - and failing - to do a clean install of Windows 11 in my new computer. Windows 10 installed a few days ago without a hitch but I decided to go straight for 11. The hardware is
Ryzen 5 8600G
MSI Pro B650M-P
16GB 6000MHz CL30 RAM
XPG S70 Blade 1TB
XPG Pylon 550W
The installer is the 24H2 ISO recently downloaded from the MS site. The media is a multiboot USB device prepared with Ventoy.
The installation progressed normally up to the stage where it says "Let's connect you to a network" with an "Install drivers" button. There's no option to skip this step.
I clicked the Install drivers button and pointed to the chipset driver package from MSI. As the driver is an exe pack, I'd previously extracted the contents. but the Windows installer finds nothing there.
I downloaded the Realtek driver but this is also an exe pack. So I extracted the contents too. The Windows installer seems to find something here and tells me to reboot.
Rebooting takes me back to the step where I choose the country and keyboard layout, then proceeds to "Let's connect you to a network" with the "Install drivers" button. Then tells me to reboot again after seeming to find something it can use. (I tried all folders and sub-folders in the extracted driver package).
The same thing happens over and over and over again. What do I do?
