Hi, I'm new to the forum.
I recently bought an HP Victus that came without OS and I'm trying to install Windows 10. I have created the bootable USB (I have no DVD reader so that's not an option) using windows official tool and tried to boot my computer, but I keep getting the same error: "A media driver your computer needs is missing". Most solutions I've found include:
Changing the USB port and/or the USB, creating the bootable USB again. No result
Downloading the Intel RST, but the processor is an AMD Ryzen 5 5600H and I guess htat would not work.
Tweaking the BIOS configuration, but I can't find the options suggested elsewhere such as disabling secure boot or legacy USB.
I have no idea on how to proceed, this should be straightforward but I can't figure out what I am missing.
Thank you all

you’ll have to download the cloud recovery tool on a working machine, input your product ID located on the bottom of the laptop and create a recovery USB. I just went through all this haha 😅😅
