    okay, i feel dumb, but Im stuck at step one.

    Trying a clean install on my new laptop. Windows setup shows no drievs. i downloaded Rapid Storage Technology RST Driver and User Interface from Intel on another computer, but it's an EXE, not something the installer can use. How do i get the right files out of it, and which folder should i point Load driver to? i'd realy like to finish this tonight.

    DNS. its always DNS

    if the download is an EXE, many installers support extraction, e.g... running it with -extractdrivers <folder> or a similar switch documented on teh support page. Otherwise, 7-Zip can often open it directly.

    Alternative: disable VMD in the BIOS (sometimes listed under storage or advanced settings). Then Windows sees the NVMe with its inbox driver. Only do this for a clean install; on an existing install, switching storage mode makes Windows unbootable.

    lol
