Product: HP Laptop 14s fq0508sa
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Windows cannot be installed to this disk. Windows needs the driver for device [AMD SD Host Controller]. Click 'Load Driver' and load the required device driver.

I don't know how to fix this during my windows 7 installation.

Help is appreciated.

Hi, @hwugns 

 

You cannot install W7 on any notebook with a 64 GB eMMC drive.

 

Those use flash storage and no flash storage controller drivers were ever developed for Windows 7.

 

Your notebook does have a M.2 slot that supports a SATA M.2 SSD, so perhaps you will want to install one of those which will provide you with more storage and a faster read/write speed than an eMMC drive provides.

 

Below is the link to the service manual.

Make sure you get a SATA M.2 SSD, as NVMe SSD's are not supported in the notebooks that come with the 64 GB eMMC drives.
