Clean install of windows after installing a bigger nvme SSD

[TheC]

Trying to do a clean install of window 10 pro. I now have a bigger nvme drive, so using a USB flash drive to install it will not see the drive.  I tried to find nvme intel storage driver but where do I put driver? Where can I get this? The install storage driver pack is on the flash drive but still not showing SSD so I can install Windows 10

I have zipped up and attached the Intel storage controller drivers that Windows needs to find the drive.

The attached file is good for both W10 & W11.

Copy all of the files in both folders in the attached file to a USB flash drive.

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

Boot from the W10/W11 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.

Ok I will unzip and copy them to the USB drive and try again. I will message back once I am able to. Thank you

Worked perfectly! Now I am seeing my new 4TB and installed windows without issues. I will keep the files for any future needs. Thank you!!
