Morning, I have the Acer nitro n50-620 with the default SSD during the Windows 10 installation by USB drive, the driver for such SSD is not found I have tried downloading the drivers from the Acer website, I have also tried downloading manually from Intel itself downloading both available versions of IntelRST (IRST) as the CPU default of the machine is I5-11400f both versions should work for this CPU gen, is there a solution to this, thanks.

    If the M.2 SSD doesn’t work when you do an installation of either Win-10 or 11 and you come to the ‘Where do you want to install windows/> load driver> and then you install the correct IRST (Intel® Rapid Storage Technology) Driver 18.31.8.1042 for the Nitro N50-620 desktop, then the M.2 SSD drive is faulty or its mainboard slot is faulty or the drive is not inserted properly, clean the M.2 SSD drive pins and the M.2 mobo slot with Isopropyl alcohol so that all the pins are clean and insert the drive again and try the detection again, if not try another M.2 SSD drive, and see if it works, as it should, as these M.2 SSD slots are very reliable, also check the mobo slot if its pins are not lose and their solder connections have come lose from the mobo traces. Or if all this still doesn't make the M.2 SSD be detected, look at this guide here.

    Also DO NOT install Win-10 with the N50-620 desktop with its 11th Gen cpu, install Win-11 version 24H2 and update all windows updates to OS build 26100.2605 as it’s a better operating system and it will operate allot better with Win-11 and all gaming with the Acer tested oem NVIDIA RTX 3060TI GDDRVI 8GB ATX PCI-EX16 gpu and 64GB (using four 16GB modules) DDR4- 3200 MT/s type ram. Also update the bios to the last version R01-A4 and the Acer provided firmware version v1.02 also as doing all this will make your Nitro N50-620 operate 1000% better and to its ultimate performance. Good luck and hope this helps you out.
