Windows 11 clean install

[ilball]

While trying to clean install windows 11 on my hp envy 17 laptop it asks for drivers.

An online guide from HP suggests that the Intel Rapid storage Technology drivers are missing, but unfortunally they are not provided in the download page of the PC.

Does someone know where to get the correct version of the drivers I need?

@ilball,

Your notebook comes with an Intel 12th gen processor.  you can download Intel RST driver from the link in the discussion below. This IRST driver is good for intel Core 11th -13th gen processors. Follow the detailed instructions in the discussion to complete the Windows installation.

Thank You for your kind reply.

I got the procedure right but unfortunately the windows setup program says that none of the drivers included are compatible with the hardware.

Does the F6 folder you extracted have the following 5 files?

If you clicked on Load Driver -> Browse -> c:\usb drive -> F6 folder, you should've seen the following two drivers. Make sure the box on the lower left corner is checked to display compatible drivers. Try downloading the driver and start the process all over again.

See this post below. When this person tried to install RST driver on the Intel 13th gen processor platform, the person didn't see the driver in the beginning but was able to install it.

If you still have the problem, I suggest you use a different usb drive. See this post below.

If the problem still is not solved, you need to use HP Cloud Recovery Tool to reinstall Windows. Let us know how it goes.

The files are present and i tried with multiple USB drives.

Sill no luck, as you can se it says that no new drivers are found.

How can i us Hp cloud recovery since this PC is currently running Linux?

Ok so, did you select either the second or 4th driver file and click Enter to display the storage drive? They seem to be right .inf files for IRST VMD driver. 

You can use HP Cloud Recovery Tool to create a bootable recovery usb drive if your model came with Windows factory-installed. Provide your full product number in the link below. If it is supported, the link will show the MS download link for the recovery tool.
