ssd wont show in windows installation menu and cant install IRST in Nitro AN515-58

Artens

So I had to do a fresh usb install due to a corrupted windows, now It does not load my ssd into the driver tray to install windows 11. (my laptop requires windows 11) and I cannot get on a system that will allow me to install the correct IRST files and extract them to the usb(incompatibility issue). Can someone get me the extracted files so I can get my laptop running again?

My laptop model number is Nitro AN515-58 by acer.

the direct download link to the driver I need.

For the Nitro AN515-58 laptop you need the IRST (Intel® Rapid Storage Technology) Driver version 19.2.0.1003 so download this driver and put this drivers unzipped folder into the Win-11 installation USB and when you get to > Where do you want to install Windows? > Load driver > you load this driver so that windows recognized the boot M.2 SSD drive and you can continue the installation, this is a very simple process. If the IRST drive is not recognized, then its either your M.2 SSD drive is faulty or the M.2 drive hasn't got the latest firmware, or the laptops M.2 slot is faulty, and you need to take your laptop to Acer or an experienced technician. Good luck.
