Windows 11 Installation Samsung SSD 980 NVMe

Hi,

I have recently bought new PC components but faced weird issue. I am already working on it for 2 days and read most threads online. None of the instructions helped. So I am coming up to you so maybe you could give some hints.

The issue: upon installation of Windows 11 downloaded from Microsoft and used their service (not rufus) for creating bootable usb the error message on the first step is that I am missing drivers. Although it is being said that these drives don’t have specific drivers from Samsung and are supposed to run on windows built-in drivers.

The interesting fact is also that drives are visible in BIOS and able to configure from “discpart” so I have already converted the to GPT, created partition and formatted with NTFS with no results.

I have also downloaded drivers from both Intel website and GIGABYTE for IRT and VMD but none were working.

PC SPEC:

  • Intel i7 14700kf
  • Gigabyte z790 ud 1.0
  • Samsung SSD 980 NVMe M.2 SSD (slots: M2A, M2Q)
  • BIOS VER: F10A

BIOS config:

  • VMD - disabled
  • CFG Lock - disabled
  • CSM support - disabled
  • Windows 10 Features - Other OS
  • Secure Boot - Disabled

Please let me know if you need any more details.

Thank you in advance and best regards,

Filip

    Hello，Filip Olszewski1

    Thank you for posting in the Microsoft community.

    Understanding that you are prompted for missing drivers when creating usb installation media, the following options usually work, please try them:

    1. go to the device manufacturer's official website to download the latest IRST driver zip, unzip it and copy the folder to the pressed system USB flash drive.
    2. Use the official Microsoft link to download the latest WIN10 system USB flash drive：Download Windows 10 (microsoft.com)
    3. the most critical step, the installation encountered "can not find the device driver" step you need to manually click on the "Browse" - to find the corresponding IRST folder, and then the system will automatically find out the options, default and click on the next step!

    Wish you all the best, look forward to your reply!

    Best Regards，
