Guide for Windows 11 Setup/Encountering Issues
:\sources\install.esd" – the output showed Windows 11 Pro with index 5. I created a directory at "C:\temp\mount" to store the image, extracted the ISO to "C:\temp\install.wim", and mounted it. The driver list displayed all entries, including the need to remove outdated drivers (see "DISM.exe /Image:C:\temp\mount /Remove-Driver /Driver:[OEM???].inf"). I couldn’t locate any AMD storage drivers on the media that would block loading from the MOBO site. I unmounted the image and applied the changes with "dism /Unmount-Image /MountDir:C:\temp\mount /commit". Because the USB is formatted FAT32, I split the install.wim file into parts up to 4000 MB. I renamed the original file to install.esd.old and copied all SWM files to a backup location. After testing, Windows 11 installed successfully using this media.
If you can switch to another operating system, the M.2 slot works fine and the drive functions properly. This was my note to verify the drive’s operation. Would you like me to run the command "lspic -nn" in Pop OS and share the output? Perhaps we can determine the device details by vendor and ID. The vendor code should be 1022 for AMD, which should align with the IDs in the driver *.inf file. It’s possible the drivers currently installed don’t match. Could you provide the result list? Once we identify the correct driver plan, we can proceed with further actions. I’ve attempted to verify the drivers included with my installation media by executing these commands: I opened the Windows 11 installation media in cmd as administrator and ran "dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:\sources\install.esd" – the output showed Windows 11 Pro with index 5. I created a directory at "C:\temp\mount" to store the image, extracted the ISO to "C:\temp\install.wim", and mounted it. The driver list displayed all entries, including the need to remove outdated drivers (see "DISM.exe /Image:C:\temp\mount /Remove-Driver /Driver:[OEM???].inf").

Let's see how it behaves if you disable the checkbox to hide incompatible drivers during the driver search while installing. If a "Standard NVM Express Controller" appears, choose it. If not, navigate to X:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\stornvme.inf_amd64_???????????? and load the drivers.
