Windows 10: Unidentified Network - Ethernet doesnt have a valid IP configuration

Just did a clean install via the latest Windows Media Creation Tool and when the installation process says 'Let's connect you to the internet', it wouldn't let me choose that option because the only option I had was Unidentified Network, so I skipped that.

Now I have Windows installed but still have the Unidentifed Newtork/no internet issue. I have an ethernet connection to my router.

I have tried the cmd.exe commands such as netsh winsock reset, ipconfig /release etc

I ran Troubleshoot and it after it resets ethernet adapter, it says "Ethernet doesn't have a valid IP configuration".
