HP Pavilion 15 Laptop PC 15-eh2000 (4V3L6AV)

Hello! (original report)

 

I previously only used OpenSUSE, but now shrank down my drive to allow for a dual-boot win11 install. I downloaded latest offical win11 iso and flashed it with balena etcher to a usb. I also have an external hard drive, where i have been throwing drivers/exe-s into, live executing them from cmd. (shift+f10)

 

When I boot into windows live usb, i get thrown into this media driver is missing error.

Here's all system info. (laptop HP Pavilion 15-eh2035nw) Here's my disk's ave to say, partition layout.

 

The laptop didn't come with windows preinstalled. (but FreeDOS) Didn't think of it as a linux user.

I have to mention, that a lot of .exe-s don't work and abort with this executable is not supported, etc..

I also have to say, that the C:\ volume aka /dev/nvme0n1p5 is readable/writable within the windows cmd.

 

The only driver software that i got to execute is SDI missing drivers. I torrented the whole package and installed all the drivers with it, but going back to the installer, nothing changes.

The boot drive is a KIOXIA model KBG50ZNV512G BG5 and it shows up in wmic.

 

I have tried installing Intel Rapid Storage Technology and WinBtrfs drivers, but no luck. I have also tried the hp driver updates from here, but most of the exe-s there don't even work and the ones that do, aren't any useful.

I have disabled secure boot and no other bios options are relevant.

I have made a backup.

 

I'm out of ideas. Thank you!
