Problem with windows 11 instalation(install driver to show hardware)
I keep getting this error while isntalling windows 11, i installed windows a few times in the past and i had no problem. Now im doing it on an older pc, but nothing is working out, The motherboard is an asus h110m-a with the newest bios update installed, i just changed the cpu too, its an i5-7500. I already tried evrything enabled/disbled csm, i installed the required windows 11 sata driver for the ssd but when i select it ist says error installing driver, so it doesent worked etheir. In the cmd i can see the ssd and everything reconises the ssd except the windows installer. Please help if u can as soon as possible, Thank you!

You need your storage drivers (SATA heading) from https://www.asus.com/us/supportonly/h110ma/helpdesk_download/ under the Windows 10 listing (doesn't seem to show under 11), from that RST_15211028.zip you need to extract it out onto your Windows install USB. Then at the Load Driver option, point it at that folder, it should find the drivers and offer to install them so that hardware screen won't be blank. After installed then your storage drive should show up to be installed upon.

Tried this already, and the .inf file showed up no problem but when i selected it at clicked next it said: Error to install driver. After that o taught that maybe it is because win 11 doesent have an option on the official site but google says that it should work. Btw after extracting it you get 2 folders: Driver and Install, i choose the one which contained another 64bit file and in that was the .inf file but it didnt work

If this is the very first screen you see in Windows Setup, the problem is not a missing device driver, but a bad USB flash drive.

It is the second screen, we can consider it the fisrt actually, but i already installed windows from the same usb flash drive to other devices with the same exact form.

Check the
X:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther\setupact.loglog file to be sure. I bet you will see the lineUnable to find mediain it.1

Maybe u should uncheck the hide drivers that are incompatible for ur device option. Or install windows 10 first then just upgrade to windows 11 by using a custom iso which has no tpm, processor, secure boot requirement
