Morning,
I have a new HP Laptop 15-fd0106ns (A5KW5EA) with FreeDOS and when I try to install Windows 10/11 it asks me for the drivers on the disk and no matter how many drivers I have downloaded, none are compatible. And also, on the HP support page there is no driver for this model that solves the problem, none are compatible.
It's maddening, to be honest, to have a laptop that doesn't allow you to install Windows.
Thank you very much in advance, I hope someone has the correct driver.
Greetings!!!

See if this works:
I zipped up and attached those storage controller files below.
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 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 W11 should install.

Thanks for responding so quickly.
I just included the files you indicate on the installation USB flash drive but they are still not compatible... but I have installed them despite not being compatible and now it advances me to the next options.
Now it tells me that the partitions are not compatible for Windows, I understand that they must be NTFS and right now they are not.

You're very welcome.
Where you are at the screen that gives you that message, use the dispart utility to clean the disk.
- Press Shift+F10 from inside Windows Setup screen to open a command prompt window.
- Type diskpart and press the Enter key.
- Type list disk to find your disk number.
- Type select disk (e.g., select disk0) to choose the disk you want to format.
- Finally, type clean to wipe the disk completely.
- Exit diskpart and install Windows.
