been there man alternative: disable VMD in teh BIOS (sometimes listed under storage or advanced settnigs). 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.

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

    wait what i'd keep VMD on and load the driver instead. some laptops' power management and firmware updates expect VMD mode.
