Whatever you read about it not working is almost certainly wrong. I don't think it does, but your Wi-Fi will still work with the default drivers included in Windows so it doesn't matter. Windows 11 apparently needs internet to finish installing How could a mobo 'come with the drivers preinstalled' lol? The issue for me here is that the Mobo doesn't come with the drivers preinstalled Help for owners of this mobo would be especially appreciated.įor confirmation too, here's the Newegg link to the board: The reason why I'm worrying about this is because this is my first build and I also read this thing about the Wifi drivers and the OS in a review from B&H, the link to that is here:

Which would be the better option? I don't want any issues. Install Windows 10 which doesn't require internet, install the drivers and then upgrade to Windows 11 once everything is ready. Install Windows 11 using an Ethernet to install the OS and the Drivers (this should work at this stage right?) The issue for me here is that the Mobo doesn't come with the drivers (specifically the Wifi drivers) already preinstalled and Windows 11 apparently needs internet to finish installing. My CPU will be 12th Gen Intel so obviously I wanted to have Windows 11 from the jump as my OS to get the most out of it. So my mobo is the MSI Z690-A Pro Wifi DDR4 which comes with 2 Wifi antennas. Hello, I'm building my first PC and I have a couple of questions about the initial boot of the OS and driver installation.
