Product Name: HP Pavilion x360 Convertible
model number: 14-dw1xxx

 

Need Intel VMD / RST F6 Storage Driver for Windows 10 LTSC Install (Pavilion x360)

Hello,
I have an HP Pavilion x360 laptop and I am trying to install Windows 10 LTSC 2021.
The BIOS on this model does not allow disabling Intel VMD / RST, so Windows Setup cannot see the NVMe SSD.

I need the correct Intel VMD / RST "F6" storage driver for this model — specifically the set that includes:

 iaStorVD.inf
iaStorVD.sys
iaStorVD.cat

I already checked HP's driver page but only found the standard RST installer (SetupRST.exe).
I need the driver-only package or SoftPaq that contains the F6 preinstallation files. 

Can someone please provide the correct HP storage driver download link or SoftPaq number containing the VMD F6 driver?

Thank you.

Hi:

 

This is the latest W10 driver HP has for the IRST driver on your notebook's support page.

 

HP Pavilion x360 Convertible Laptop PC 14-dw1000 Software and Driver Details

 

You can install the free 7-Zip file utility from the link below.

 

7-Zip

 

Download and save the IRST driver.

 

After you do both, right click on the IRST driver you saved.

 

Select 7-Zip from the list of items on the menu.

 

Have 7-Zip Extract to: and let it extract the driver file into its folder name (sp111616).

 

Then copy that folder to your a USB flash drive or the W10 installation flash drive.

 

When you get to the screen where you have to load the driver, browse to the sp111616 driver folder>Drivers>F6>iaStor.VD.inf.

 

If you check the box, it will only include the compatible driver.

 

I've also attached a newer version of the driver below for all PC's with Intel 11th>13th gen core processors.
