Failure on installation of VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi)

I am new to vmware. I am installing this on my Windows 10 Pro desktop, not a server. I am trying to install the vSphere Client to setup a Storage Gateway in AWS.

I downloaded the VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi ISO) image and created a bootable USB. When booting from the USB I selected the ESXi-7.OU3n-21930508-standard Installer. It installs VMware ESXi 7.0.3, but when it comes to the end a modal pops up stating

"No Network Adapters were detected. Either no network adapters are physically connected to the system, or a suitable driver could not be located. A third party driver may be required. Ensure that there is at least one network adapter physically connected to the system before attempting installation." My only option is to cancel the installation at this point.

What steps can I take to resolve this issue? I have not installed any other vmware up to this point.

Thanks in advance
