    Quote Tony; Edit: Another thing I thought of, if I could get the Media Creation Tool for Windows 11 on my desktop and run it, it would have all the drivers necessary already. My goal is to get Windows 11 back on the machine as that is what was there particular to this machine, so the Media Creation Tool should recognize it. Is this something I can/should do instead? Thanks.

    No, the Media Creation Tool won't work without the internet, I forgot. So, I must get the WI-FI working. Thanks.

    Yes, create a windows 11 install USB drive and do the install. If the machine was running with a valid W11 license, it’ll be recognized. You may end up without WiFi still because the W11 install may not have the appropriate driver for WiFi.

    I haven’t made a W11 install drive but with W10, when making the USB install drive you tell the Creation Tool that the install is for another computer.

    Up and running in Windows again. It took a new installation of Windows and a new USB Wi-Fi toggle, or what ever it is called, I had a bad one.
    Thanks for the help and have a great day/evening.

    How did you get the wireless adapter driver? Was it included in the Windows installation or did you have to hunt for it?
