I recently built a new PC using all unused parts, including an Asrock x870 Pro RS motherboard, and I started the installation of Windows 11 from a USB drive. Everything was going well until I reached the screen that prompts me to "Let's connect you to a network." It's asking me to install network adapter drivers, but I'm unsure what to look for on the Asrock website since I'm new to PC building. Any advice on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated! Here are some of my specs: 64GB RAM, RTX 4070 GPU, and a 9800x3D CPU with liquid cooling. Thanks in advance!

Are you sure there’s no option to skip the internet connection? Sometimes you can bypass that screen during the setup. You might find a solution in this link I found: [Bypass Windows 11 Internet Setup](https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows11/comments/1aot2kp/windows_11_new_install_internet_bypass/).
Are you connecting via WiFi or trying to use an ethernet cable? If possible, you should try plugging your PC directly into your router with an ethernet cable, at least temporarily. It usually makes things a lot easier during installation.
If I skip this step, will it cause any issues later or make connecting to WiFi harder?
