I got a pc through a friend and wanted to do a fresh install of Windows 10, i even whiped all the data with "clean all" in Diskpart. But somehow if i install Windows 10 it tries to connect to any working server and the installation wont finish. Why did this part of data survived after i cleaned the solid drive? How can i get rid of this data?

I think the network data of the organization this device was used before is still saved anywhere on the solid drive, like in a protected area. And the thing is usually u can install win without wifi but it doesnt give me the option to do so due to the given reason

If you did a clean install i.e. deleted all the partitions on the installation system drive, then a hard NO.
If you backed the profiles prior to clean install, you can launch the cmd Shift+F10, run commands something like this

netsh wlan add profile filename=<"the backed up wifi profile"> user=all
REM this a comment. command not included here turn on your wifi connection. 

before continuing the Windows Experience setup to connect to the Wifi/Internet.
