Today I wanted to install Windows 11 on Asus X515ep laptop. SSD is Intel peknu512gz.

Before this, GNU/Linux OS was installed on my laptop.

The Windows 11 installation tool cannot detect the SSD. says:

No drive found. Click Load driver to get the storage driver.

I tried to follow my guide and download the NVMe SSD driver from the link below but it doesn't work.

Can you tell me what the problem is and where I can download the correct driver so that I can install Windows 11?

    Hello

    Thank you for posting here.

    First enter the BIOS settings to check whether the SSD hard disk (Intel peknu512gz) can be detected.

    If it can be detected, try creating a Windows 11 installation media and do a clean install of Windows 11.
