So i plugged in my windows 10 usb installation usb drive and booted off of that. While in the installation process I used diskpart in command prompt to conpletely clean my hdd, which had windows 10 installed on it. I then proceeded with the dowbload for the ssd and finally got to the setup screens and everything was going well until i got onto the network screen, i sat there for about 30 minutes and nothing popped up.
I have an ethernet connection with my router and the network was working fine on my old instance of Windows 10, but i ended up pressing skip this step, thinking that i could do it later. Next was supposed to be the microsoft account login, but i guess because of no internet connection I couldn't login and was told to put in my name.
