Restore windows system image from network | Bootable Restore USB options | Cant connect to network

Im having issues connecting to my network to find the backup location of my system images.

I have tried the default windows method: Advanced Startup > Restore System Image
I also have UrBackup (restore USB 2.4.2 x64)

But both methods fail to connect to my network. I assume this is because the network drivers are missing from these OS's 

My windows OS is an LTSC version, I wonder can I install drivers into this USB iso? And same question for the UrBackup USB? 

If not I would be looking for a different restore solution that is compatible with modern windows systems

 

My network controllers are:
Intel(R) Ethernet Controller I226-V
Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6E AX211 160MHz

MOBO: MSI MAG Z790 Tomohawk wifi (MS-7D91)

Urbackup restore:
17046802229611015297642107952796

 

Windows restore: I get to the point I can enter the server IP/share, then the credentials window pop up. Once correct credentials are entered, the window refreshes back to the same, as if I had entered the wrong credentials. I assume this means it cannot find the network location. And network search bar continues searching.

If you can set an IP then the network card is supported. Suggests network configuration issues, share not set right...

You should be able to load the driver from a usb drive with drvload (has to be extracted obviously)
