The system is all Intel (and Realtek for dumb reasons).
You can go to intel and download:
Intel:
Intel HID Event Filter (https://www.intel.com/content/www...ement.htm
Intel Serial IO (https://www.intel.com/content/www...ws-10.html)
Intel Chipset (https://www.intel.com/content/www...ility.htm
Intel Ethernet Controller (https://www.intel.com/content/www...-pack.html)
Realtek:
Realtek-RTL8852BE (You have to google this; it's weirdly hard to find. I got it from Lenovo)
or just use Linux and everything Just Works®
If you do a fresh install of Win 11 Pro 2024H2, four devices will not have drivers after finishing the installation, and unfortunately, the regular NIC and WNIC are among the four. So no way to bootstrap this WITHOUT bringing in at least one of the xNIC drivers externally, for example, via a USB drive or by previously adding it to the ISO.
But the four missing drivers in question can be obtained from Microsoft's own WHQL/Update Catalog, and all together, they total less than 3MB!
Details/URLs for dowloading the < 3MB of drivers from Microsoft can be found in the other thread at:

$129 and delivery tommorow

Amazon has one of these adapters using the ASMedia ASM1166 chipset and it's going for like $30 (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B5RJHYFD), but I bet there are plenty of other options out there if one looks around. Like I said, I did not even know these adapters existed till the other day...

Kamrui GK3Plus N95, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD. Just under $150 after two coupons.
I can also get a GMKtec N97, 12GB RAM, 256GB SSD for $140 after a coupon.
1) on the upper right, click on organize/add to my drive and add a shortcut
2) create a new folder
3) put the shortcut inside that folder
4) from your own google drive page, right click the folder and download it

Correct me If I am wrong.
It's very weird that this company releases all their drivers only on Google Drive. Only as a zip. And that the zip file is nearly 1GiB for what should only be ~50MiB of drivers. What's the other 800MiB of stuff?
Anyway, why would I, after a fresh install, go out of my way to add extra unneeded junk back to the machine when you can get all of the drivers directly from the hardware manufacturer? Even if I did trust them (which I have no reason to, which to be fair, I don't really trust any company).
I thought of that, the thing is, you will need 2 power supplies, one for the NUC, one for the HDDs, plus a HDD cage and fan. My problem is that the external power supply for the HDDs, either I use an old ATX and put a power button on the 24pin, and let it run 24/7, or get those 12V/15A power supply and wire the barrel plug and AC power. Neither one is appealing to me, either it took as much space as a mini-itx build, or cost as much without the expansion ability.

this seems to be ideal for a low power file server connected to a couple of external HDs? prebuilt NAS prices always seemed excessive to me for my purposes (which would be mostly file sharing and automated backups). now i can run whatever server software i choose (8GB of ram ought to be plenty for that)?
