See if this works:

Make a bootable W11 USB installation flash drive with the media creation tool from the link below (2nd option).

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11?msockid=1b0c6d11ee946b69049b7824eff56a37 

After you boot from the installation media and proceed, you will come to a screen that asks, 'Where do you want to install Windows?'

At that point, you will probably receive a message that Windows cannot find any drives to install on.

Windows needs the Intel storage controller drivers loaded so that Windows can find the drive.

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.
