Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

I tried installing ubuntu and different distro's while experimenting on my laptop , I guesss I accidentally delted everything from my laptop even the drivers. Now only linux can be installed as it easily detects my ssd and other storage devices but whenever I try installing windows 10 or 11 it says no drivers found and no devices were being shown at all. I tried searching and installing the sp146929 exe and tried extracting it in my usb and then still it says it's not compatible with my laptop. I need to reinstall windows but I can't anymore !

 anyone has a fix for this ?

I have HP Victus 15 , RTX 4050 6GB , DDR4 16GB , i5-13420H, and internal samsung ssd 512gb

@NVIDIA-RTX-USER,

 

If you extracted the F6 folder from the sp146929 file and copied it to a Windows installation usb drive correctly, the Windows installer should've detected the storage drive. The sp file works for Intel Core 11th-13th gen processors.

 

You can try the instructions provided in the thread below for the Intel RST storage drivers installation.

Solved: I can't install the Windows operating system on HP Victus 15... - HP Support Community - 952...

 

If you still have an installation problem, what is your notebook's exact product number or model number?
