Can't install windows anymore.

[Matsukural]

Hi, Hello.

For some reason, i cannot install windows anymore.

I've been running Fedora Linux for about a year now, and i want to go back to Windows 11.
But i can't seem to install it.

I can flash the USB, i used ventoy, i even used another laptop that does have windows to use the official usb flasher.

But everytime, it doesn't detect my SSD.
However, when i try installing another Linux distro, it works perfectly and detects my SSD without a problem.

My specs:
i7 12700
RTX 3060
16 GB Ram
It's a prebuilt from HP Omen.

I tried using Intel IRST, but that didn't work either.
Can someone help, thanks?

What is the product number of your PC?

If it came with Windows from HP, it is probably supported by the HP cloud recovery tool.

You can also try the Intel RST drivers that I zipped up and attached below which are good for all Intel PCs that have Intel 11th > 13th gen core processors.

Unzip and copy all of the files in the folder in the attachment to a USB flash drive.

Have the flash drive and your Windows installation media plugged into USB ports.

Boot from the Windows installation flash drive.

When you get to the screen where no drives can be found, click on the Load driver option, browse to the flash drive with the storage controller drivers on it.

If you check the box, it will only include the compatible driver.

If Windows still can't find the drive, uncheck the box to include the compatible driver and try any of the ones listed.
