Hello.
I have just acquired Hp Pavilion Laptop Model 15-eg0003nk, I wanted to install another installation system (Windows 10 Pro) with a bootable Usb key, but the installer does not see the M.2 NVMe 512 GB ! It asks me for a driver. How do I do it ? Or where to find this driver ? Or how to format the M.2 NVMe 512 GB ?
Thanks

Hi:
You have to perform an extra step to install W10 on PC's with the Intel 11th gen core processors...
See the info at the link below.
The link they direct you to the HP support site doesn't work.
Here is the link to the driver you need...
This package contains the Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver for the supported notebook models and operating systems. The Intel Rapid Storage Technology is designed to provide functionality for the Intel Storage Controllers. The driver improves Serial ATA (SATA) disk performance with Native Command Queuing.
18.0.1.1138

There is another thing I don't understand in that document, and that is where HP tells you to right click on the Intel driver file and select Extract to
When I ran through the steps, I don't get an Extract to option when I right click on the file.
So, if you have the same issue, download and install the free 7-zip file utility from the link below.
The 2nd file at the top of the page is for 64 bit.
Then you can right click on the exe file, select 7-Zip from the menu, and select Extract to: and let it extract the file into its folder name (sp109000), and copy that folder to your USB flash drive, and continue with the instructions.
If the above driver still doesn't allow Windows to see the drive, see if this version of the IRST storage driver works that I have zipped up and attached below.
This has no F6 folder.
The drivers are visible after you unzip the file and open the folder.
