Hey everyone! I just built a new PC, and while it successfully booted up and recognized all my components, I'm having trouble with the internet. I reused my old M.2 drive, which means I could log into Windows quickly, but now Windows wants to verify my identity through my Microsoft account. The issue is, my PC isn't detecting any internet connections. I even tried using my phone as a hotspot, but that didn't work either. Do I need to reset my drives, or should I install Windows on a different drive to sort this out? For reference, I'm using an ASUS ROG Strix B650E-F Gaming Wifi motherboard with external antennas, and I currently have no access to a LAN connection. Thanks in advance for your help!

Sounds like you need to install the WiFi drivers! Since you're using a new motherboard, it’s possible that Windows doesn’t have the right drivers for your network card yet. Try downloading the drivers from the ASUS website on another computer and transfer them over with a USB stick. That should help you get connected to the internet! Also, if your setup changed from Intel to AMD, consider a Windows reinstall for optimal compatibility.
That might be the issue. I switched from an Intel i5 10400F to a 7800X3D on the B650E-F Gaming WiFi, so I’ll try reinstalling Windows and see if that helps!
