I recently switched from a b650e Taichi motherboard to an X870-A ROG from ASUS, which I bought at Micro Center. Everything seemed to go well during the setup until I reached the sign-in phase. Now, I can't log into my Microsoft account because I'm unable to connect to the Ethernet port on the motherboard. I only see a green light there, no orange light, and I get an error message about my PIN being unavailable due to changes in security settings. I'm completely stuck without internet access to get through this situation. I also can't connect to WiFi; it shows no available connections, and I can't enable airplane mode either. I'm feeling really frustrated and just want to get my computer up and running!

You could try setting up a local user account instead. Once you're in, you can download the required WiFi and Ethernet drivers using your phone and then transfer them to your PC with a USB cable or something similar.
If you're not sure how to transfer files from your phone to your computer, just make sure you enable file transfer on your phone when you connect it via USB. Then navigate to the folder where you saved the drivers and copy them over.
