Acer ConceptD 3 (CN316-73G) - SSD not listed when installing windows, only USB flash available
Hello guys,
I bought a new laptop for by brother which is FreeDos.
I never installed Windows to a brand new laptop, followed the steps as they are not that difficult BUT when i have to select where to install it i only have the USB flash as option and not the SSD.
What’s happening? Is it driver missing or?
Thanks in advance!

Hi, you need to download the Intel IRST driver for your laptop model from Acer Support, unzip that and copy the IRST driver to to the USB flash drive with the ISO file, what version of Windows11 ISO did you download as the Microsoft site only provides 24H2, the recommended 23H2 version for this laptop model can be downloaded from UUPdump.net: How to Download an Older version of Windows 11 ISO (23H2) » Winhelponline and how to install the IRST driver: Hard disk not detected during Windows 10 installation - Acer Community
