I recently reinstalled Windows 11 on my laptop due to some previous BSOD issues, and during the setup, I used the OOBEBypassNRO command. Now, I'm able to log in locally, but my laptop refuses to connect to any internet networks. I've tried several troubleshooting steps, including a network reset, using an Ethernet cable, and attempting to use my phone as a hotspot, but nothing works. I've also installed all the necessary network drivers for my device, but it keeps saying that the best drivers are already installed. I'm really stuck and have been trying to resolve this for about 5 hours. Any ideas on how to fix this?

It sounds like a frustrating situation! First, can you confirm which laptop model you're using? When you mention it doesn't allow you to connect, what exactly happens when you try? Have you checked the network devices in the control panel? Sometimes, a clean driver installation from the manufacturer's site can help too. It could be that the drivers included in the standard Windows setup are missing or outdated.
If you're still not able to connect, could you check if there are any dump files from your previous BSOD? These can provide useful information for further troubleshooting. You can find them in C:WindowsMinidump. Upload them to a file sharing site so we can take a look.
I’ve run into similar problems during installs where the network drivers don't load properly. It might help to get the latest drivers directly from the HP website using another device, then install them on your laptop. Sometimes Windows doesn't recognize them without a direct install from the manufacturer's site.
Considering the issues you're dealing with, it might be worth deleting all the drivers under the "Network adapters" section in Device Manager. After doing that, restart your laptop and attempt to connect again with the Ethernet cable. This can often help Windows recognize the hardware properly.
