Hi, so basically I am trying to install Windows 11 alongside OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. After I clicked "Install Now" it shows that a driver is missing and if I have any external media. Right now I don't know what driver is missing since the computer came with Windows 11 preinstalled before I had installed OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.

So, did you replace Windows with OpenSuse? Or did you create room on the drive and install OpenSuse next to Windows? Just trying to make sure I understand what you did.

 I had replaced Windows 11 with Arch Linux then I went to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed a few months ago. I shrunk my OpenSUSE partition for Windows 11. In the Windows 11 install media it says I need a driver for sth.

OK, I ran into a similar issue when I did a clean install on a Desktop PC recently -- and I had to disconnect ALL the drives and completely blank out the target drive before Windows would install.  MS has changed the install process a lot over the years and it is a long less forgiving now.
