Hi:

Try clean installing W11 on the NVMe SSD.

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

Download Windows 11 (microsoft.com)

When you get to the part of the installation that asks 'Where do you want to install Windows,' you will probably receive a message that states in substance that 'We cannot find any drives.'

You have to install the Intel storage controller drivers that I zipped up and attached below, which are good for PC's with the Intel 11th gen > 13th gen core processors.

Copy the 5 files from the F6/VMD/f6vmdflpy-x64 folder to a USB flash drive.

iastorvd.cat

iastorvd.inf

iastorvd.sys

rstmweventlogmsg.dll

rstmwservice.exe

Have the flash drive and your W11 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 Windows should find the drive and install.

Good Day Paul,

I managed to do the install using the HP recovery USB boot disk,apparently the first cloud recovery USB that I used had a corrupted file system on it,remade a new USB boot disk on a different PC and Win 11 installed perfectly.

Thanks Once Again for all the help.

Kind Regards

Abie

Anytime, Abie.

Glad to have been assistance and that is good to know that you were able to make another recovery USB using another PC worked for you.

Cheers,

Paul
