    Hi,

    If you have a Intel based system, you may have to download IRST driver for your laptop model from Acer Driver support, go to Acer Support site and download IRST driver and copy it to the USB installation disk.

    When you come to the steps " Where do you want to install Windows", click Load driver and browse to USB disk, anyway, follow the instructions for more detail instructions.

  • Hi @novax what model do you have exactly?

    On the other hand, no drivers are necessary.

    It is important that you create the USB by downloading the ISO from the following Microsoft page and creating it with the tool you have on that same page.

    Once created and with the computer turned off, connect the USB and turn on the computer, press F12 insistently and you will access the boot devices by selecting the USB.

    I'm hearing this problem first time for Helios 300. Usually I face this problem with Asus laptops only. If no drives are showing during Windows installation, ya the solution is to download IRST drivers and put in the USB installation drive.

    Hi there. Same problem here. I used mediacreationtool to make a bootable USB stick with win 11 on it. I do have an Acer Predator PH18-71. I downloaded from acer support site IRST drivers for my laptop and added on USB stick. Problem still there, Windows setup doesn`t see my 1 TB SSD, or the drivers for it on USB stick. When I give the "list disk" command in diskpart I see only my USB stick, not the SSD.

    Any ideas on how to install windows on this laptop?

    I forgot to mention I see the SSD in BIOS

    In BIOS I see a Micron 3400 MTFDKBA1TOTFH drive

    I tried to download drivers from micron, but it keep asking me to register with my organisation e-mail which I don`t have of course, because I`m an home user :)
