Need correct RST drivers to install windows on HP Spectre x360

[wpcoe]

I want a clean install of Win11 on my Spectre x360.  Apparently Windows installation needs the correct RST  drivers.  BIOS shows RST 18.1.1.5201 RST VMD, but when I boot in to Win11, Device Manager shows RST 18.6.1.1016.  

I was able to download RST-Win10_Win11-18.6.1.1016.1.zip from intel.com.  I extracted and copied:

Optane.dll
OptaneEventLogMsg.dll
RstMwEventLogMsg.dll
iaStorAfs.sys
iaStorVD.cat
iaStorVD.inf
iaStorVD.sys

to the USB thumb drive being used to install Win11.  However, when I try to install Win11 I then get:

Where do I get a working version of an RST driver that lets me install Win11?  Or, is there something totally different I need to do?

Hi:

I believe that you're on the right track.

See if the updated driver that I zipped up and attached below works for you...

19.5.1.1040     08/25/2022
