    Copy the content of the Intel IO Driver to your flash drive (must be a folder, not a Zip one). 

    Once the Windows install screen is shown, use browse for Driver and direct it to the Intel IO Driver that you have copy earlier...that driver will now install for you to see all the hdd, ssd present in your machine.

    Update me in your progress.

    Won't you have issues with drivers when you downgrade to Windows 10? The ACER website only lets you download Windows 11 drivers.
