Hello all, I recently got my hands on an HP Laptop PC 15-dw3xxx with no operating system installed and I'm trying to install Windows 10 into it. Windows 10 is not detecting my NVME during setup. I've tried installing the drivers found under the official HP driver download page - Driver-Storage/Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver, unzipping the exe, placing it in the bootable USB, and trying to install the necessary driver. Still, nothing seems to work.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!!!

Hi:
See if the driver that I zipped up and attached below works.
It is from the Intel website and is supposed to work on PC's with the Intel 11th - 13th gen core processors.
You would think by the time W10 22H2 had been released, Microsoft would have included updated storage controller drivers.
They've had at least two years to work on this.
It's the same with W11 too.

Try this one.

You have to use 7-Zip to extract the driver files from the exe file to its driver folder.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to help you because I have given both of those drivers to various forum members that have Intel notebooks with the 11th gen core processors and the drivers worked on both W10 & W11 installations.

You can try this older driver I posted for this person, but I doubt it will work, since the other 2 drivers I gave you didn't work.
