Hello all,
Rookie to Proxmox here. Just built my first VM 2 days ago. I had one up and running then I deleted it. Built another and this one when I installed Windows 10, it did not recognize any networks which I thought was odd. I continued the install of Windows 10 and now when I am in Windows, it will not connect or even acknowledge any networks. Troubleshooting stated that I am missing network drivers. I am using a Lenovo P910 and the virtio_win_0.1.262. Also tried virtio-win-0.1.189 as well as added another cd rom drive running both at the same time. See attached picture for other settings.
How do I install drivers on a server with no internet connection?
Thanks for the help.

You need to install the virtio driver package included with the virtio ISO image. Installing the package will install the driver for the virtual network adapter. Either that or switch your adapter to E1000. The installer is in the root of the iso IIRC.

Thank you so much for your help. Changing to E1000 worked!
