Can't Install Windows 10/11 on HP 200 G4 22 All-in-One PC

[MZeid]

Hello, 

This is really frustrating, I am not able to install windows on the new computer for two days.

I have HP 200 G4 22 All-in-One PC, the driver as per the download page for Windows 11 is either sp135743.exe or sp146640.exe.

Both didn't work.

What I did is that I downloaded the files mentions, extracted them on the USB drive, there is no folder called F6 as mentioned in the instructions here.

So I tried every single folder, none of them worked.

Here are the contents of the driver file

Please advice.

Best Regards

Hi:

W10 or W11 should not need any storage controller drivers to install in a PC with an Intel 10th gen core processor.

The storage controller drivers are in the NonVMD folder.

When you are at the screen where Windows cannot find any drives, click on the Load driver option, open that folder and if you check the box, it will only include the compatible driver.

Click Next, and hopefully W11 will install.

I'm assuming that your PC came with FreeDOS and that is why you need to install Windows?

PC's that come with Windows can use the HP cloud recovery client utility to create a bootable USB recovery drive to install Windows, but it will not work on PC's that came with FreeDOS.

If using the drivers from that folder still doesn't work, I believe that there is some other issue which I would not be able to help you with, and I suggest you contact HP customer service for further assistance.

Thank you dear for your kind reply, Actually the CPU in my computer is 12th generation. And I tried loading the drivers from all of those folders. Non of them worked.

Yes the computer came with FreeDOS.

Hello there, I'm still stuck with this.

I still can't install windows. I'm sure many other people were stuck like me, a solution should be found already. Please help.

I finally managed to solve it.

I was able to make it work by downloading the driver from intel website directly from here:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/720755/intel-rapid-storage-technology-driver-instal...

If you try to extract it using z-zip as I was trying before, you will get a bunch of useless files.

Instead you should run the following command using powershell:

./SetupRST.exe -extractdrivers SetupRST_extracted

This will extract the files in the same folder, copy them to the USB drive, and voila! that's it. problem is solved.

After figuring out by reading an older article of intel for older generations of intel cpu, and finished anything, I google the same command again and found that intel already had the proper instructions on their website, but google wasn't showing them up on the first page, possibly.

Here are the proper instructions from intel:

It is a shame that hp doesn't provide instructions for an essential matter for their products.
