helios predator 16 2024 with an i7 14th gen and 4070 OS and Wifi issue

I just got a new helios predator 16 2024 with an i7 14th gen and 4070 at a very good price in one of my local tech stores but it came with no os. I barely managed to get windows on it, and i had to mess with the bios cause at first it couldnt see the ssd, after that i logged into windows 10 pro (windows 11 pro didnt see the ssd for some reason so il upadate later) now cant use wifi cause it tells me that windows couldnt find a driver for my network adapter. Can anyone help? I just got into tech stuff like a week ago so i dont really know what im doing.

At first it told me that they couldnt detect any netowork adapter at all but i downloaded a drive from the acer website an the messege changed to that. I saw 2 wifi drives but i could only download one of them, the other one gave me an error.

I see no drivers for Windows 10 on PH16-71/PH16-72 , so in order to see the SSDs when you install Windows you have to download IRST (Intel® Rapid Storage Technology) Driver > extract/unzip and put the folder on a USB stick > when Windows gets to that part click Load driver and go to VMD inside the IRST folder and install .
