Where is the blank space for installing Windows located?
Hello,
I'm attempting to install a fresh Windows 11 on an HP Laptop 17-by4061nr. It doesn't recognize the formatted hard drive anymore; I've learned that Intel has replaced the old driver loading method with SetupRST.exe.

I looked into where the installer for the OS came from. Yes, you can press Shift+F10 to open CMD and then use DiskPart to check if the drive is recognized by the laptop, not the operating system.
I created the file on Microsoft’s site with the Media creation tool. It’s reliable since I use it often. Diskpart only recognizes the 8GB USB I install Windows on. I attempted to turn off and enable secure boot in BIOS, but the issue remains unchanged.
You can locate the NVMe driver by searching online for the F6 RST driver, but it may not work on your 11th generation system. At least with 12th generation laptops, HP recommends using their Cloud Recovery Tool as an alternative solution.
RST driver v19 or v18 is available; HP lists v17 for the laptop's page.
