Was there a possible power surge or electrical storm?
Linux should have recognized the onboard NIC and or the Card NIC that was installed.
Durning the install of window did it see the NIC, or did it also tell you no network found?
Is this a prefabricated or you built system?

Does not make much sense to me. If you cleaned installed I do not know how your old login info could still be active.
I think the best option is to do a new install.
I also think we should use diskpart to clean the drive.
This will delete all data on the drive.
If you wish to try this let me know and I will give you the procedure
Also we will make sure you setup an offline account (local account) - No internet needed.

This will also set the drive to GPT the prefered for UEFI
if you want MBR change step 5 to MBR
****NB this will wipe all data from the drive****
Boot from Win 10 install usb
When you get to the startup screen (pic attached)
Press Shift + F10 key
you should get a X:> prompt
What is in Orange you type in green you do
e.g Enter press enter key
Diskpart enter
list disk enter
Select disk n enter (n=the disk you wish to convert)
clean enter
convert gpt enter
exit enter
exit enter
Continue with the install.
Because you do not have internet (disconnect cable just incase new card picks up)
It will let you set up a local account
This Video at 3:21 sec will show you what to expect.
