@FrostyIsHere,

 

Since your model comes with an Intel Core 12th or 13th gen processor, you need to add Intel RST storage controller drivers to a W11 installation usb drive for the Windows installer to detect the storage drive to install W11 on.

 

You can follow the instructions in the thread below for an Intel RST driver installation.

Ah, I've already tried that and still didn't work at all I stumbled on that post before coming here for help 😕

Well then, your other option will be to use HP Cloud Recovery Tool if your model came with W11 factory installed.

 

The recovery tool creates a recovery usb drive that will restore the storage drive to a factory state. Click the link below for how to use the recovery tool software.
