A clean install can be performed without connecting to the internet.
The GPU drivers are often installed during the clean install to have a functioning computer.
(I first learned this in 2017 while troubleshooting Microsoft defender for Microsoft)
(Microsoft defender was once a separate or offline tool)
(There were conflict problems when the AV was integrated into Windows)
(When WDV and Microsoft defender offline were run at different times after a clean install with no internet connection there was a bootloop)
(The driver was the Nvidia GPU driver nvlddmkm.sys)
