Driver issue when downloading win 10 on a new SSD

[Nicole6R]

I bought a new Crucial PCLE 4.0 NVME m.2 SSD 1tb, and i tried to install windows 10 on it from an USB. Unfortunately, it gets stuck to a point where it asks for drivers. From where can i upload them? thank you.

If your notebook has an Intel 11th core or newer processor, see if this works:

Unzip the Intel storage controller driver file I attached, and copy all of the files inside both folders in that file to a USB flash drive.

Have the flash drive and your W10 installation media plugged into USB ports.

Boot from the W10 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.

Click Next, and Windows should find the drive and install.

Hi Paul,

I so much appreciate your help and time you put to answering, 

Initially, I only highlighted F6 the first time I tried, but then on another attempt, I navigated to the second folder and selected the file, which resulted in success. Wow, it was amazing! Paul, I am thrilled about the outcome. Thank you so very much, and have a wonderful long weekend! Happy holidays!

Best regards,

Nicole
