Oh it wasn't a problem for me just made me think initially is something wrong with the LAN port it installed fine and I actually need to log in with a Microsoft account since I bought a digital licence for it many years ago for the ease of just logging in and having your Windows activated whenever you get a new PC or upgrade some parts.

Well, I'm glad you don't need it.

Still, it can be a hassle to have to deal with connecting it to the net even before it has completed the installation so, while you're fine, this new trick may help someone else.

Yeah there should definitely be an option to install Windows offline and shouldn't even need a workaround but sadly big tech companies want the control.
