Reinstalling windows

Weird situation i do not know how to resolve

On my laptop 13 intel 11th gen i wanted to switch back to Windows after linux was installed on it for a while. I also wanted ot do the bios update and thought i would do that after the windows installation as it is way easier that way.
Now i’ve run into a problem: i reinstalled win 10 with no problems (planned to upgrade later but i do not own a win 11 device so couldn’t create a bootable usb with win 11) but the laptop has absolutely no drivers, no wifi, no bluetooth, no usb. Usb drives are not recognized in windows (they show up in the bios), Usb a or usb c and i cannot connect wirelessly.
My question is: how do i load the driver bundle onto the computer?

See if this link helps:

For the 11th gen Intel Core Framework Laptop 13, Windows comes with wi-fi and USB drivers. If you do not have them, I would encourage you to recreate your Windows 10 install media from a known-good source and reinstall it again because whatever media you did use is damaged beyond repair.

I did create the image using my tower pc running windows 10 just fine with all the necessary drivers, no idea what went wrong. But i’ll try to reinstall it, or even directly windows 11

This will create your windows 11 install that you can put on a usb. I have used it many times just fine.

You could also install the Framework driver bundle found here:

Throw that on another USB drive and you can install after you install Win 10.
