If you are attempting to install Windows on a modern Intel-based PC—particularly laptops with 11th Gen Core processors or newer—you may encounter a frustrating issue:

When you run a clean Windows installation, the setup uses generic Microsoft drivers. On modern Intel hardware (especially 10th‑, 11th‑, 12th‑, and 13th‑generation chipsets and newer), these generic drivers often fail to detect NVMe SSDs if they are managed by Intel RST or VMD. The installer then displays a blank or empty drive list. By loading the correct Intel RST driver manually during setup, you can make those drives visible and proceed with the installation.

Note: Intel occasionally changes the naming convention. As of 2025-2026, this exact filename is still widely used for legacy and non-VMD installations.

drivers needed to "see" your modern storage hardware. The file F6flpy-x64-non-vmd.zip

If your system has VMD enabled (common on Intel 11th Gen and newer laptops), you should download f6flpy-x64-vmd.zip instead. Use the same process.

If you can't find drivers, you can sometimes go into your and change the SATA mode from "RAID" to "AHCI" or disable "VMD." This often allows Windows to see the drive without needing extra drivers.
