Microsoft Windows 11

Hello community. I have a big query thanks to the ineffectiveness of the HP engineers.

I have this computer: hp 15 d2yxxx

 

This computer comes with the following conditions:
1.- Very simple BIOS with RST VMD
2.- SSD M.2 NVMe 215gb + 32gb Optane integrated.

The computer comes with Windows 11 out of the box.

 

When installing Windows, if I can choose the SSD to install and everything necessary, then I have integrated all the RAID, IDE, ACHI, SATA, NVMe, etc. controllers in the BOOT.WIM to save me the headache that many have because they do not detects the SSD when installing the operating system.

The problem lies in the VMD that these HP have, in the case of the mentioned model, it does not have a very complete BIOS, it is rather, quite simple. It has TMP, SecureBoot, which does not affect the installation of Windows 11 since it meets the requirements.

 

I install Windows
I choose the storage unit where to install
The system starts to install
The computer restarts for the first time to prepare everything
The system does not advance, it gives a blue screen indicating: Boot INACCESSIBLE DEVICE.
THEN IT REBOOTS AND DOES NOT CONTINUE.

 

I have already loaded the RTS, VMD, RAID, SATA, IDE, USB 3.0, NVMe, etc. drivers, even the OPTANE ones, but it gives me the same error.

At Asus, the engineers were very smart, unlike HP, at Asus they left the option to disable the VMD, and I managed to install Windows without a problem, but on the HP 15 d2yxxx model I can't. In the BIOS there is no way to disable the VMD, although if it gives the options to see the boot drives in the "intel rst 18.1.1.5201 rst vmd driver" section, then there is no way to create a raid, or disable the annoying and absurd VMD function. the bios is too Simple and it occupies the version F21 which is the most recent bios. We already installed the oldest and most recent BIOS and with all of them it is the same nonsense.

 

If anyone has had this problem, I'd love to have an answer on it so I can analyze and get Windows installed.

 

Greetings and thanks.
