Windows 11 installation stick misses a driver for the installation

Windows 11 installation stick misses a driver for the installation.

However, the system, which needs a repair installation is on the disk in the notebook an should have folder with all driver software.

How please could I find this folder in order to have the windows 11 installation software searching for a suitable driver on this location?

Thank you very much.

    First, you need to get the driver from your notebook's existing system drive. Even though you can't boot into Windows, the drive and all its files are still there.

    It's either in the "System32" or in the "Windows" folder. Have a great day!

    To solve the issue where the Windows 11 installation media can't find a driver during setup, and you know that your system's disk contains a folder with the necessary drivers, you can point the installer to that folder during the setup process.
