Unable to install Windows 11 with the resources at hand
I am trying to install Windows 11 on an internal SSD disk with the following resources and information at hand:
- Desktop ASRock Z590 steel legend 10+11th generation Intel motherboard.
- Empty 120GB SSD, waiting for the installation of the Windows 11 OS.
- 32Gb USB3.2 v1 Sandisk Windows 11 installation key. The Windows .iso download name is "Win11_23H2_English_x64v2" downloaded 24hours ago from Microsoft.
- Linux Mint Cinnamon 23.1 installation USB drive, which was used to create the Windows USB installation key.
- And that is it.
- The Mb identifies the installation USB as the boot drive, and the 120GB SSD as an existing drive.
- The Linux created USB key boots without any problems and displays the standard options. Use the GUI Install, or use the command prompt for the advanced mode (like DISKPART).
I am familiar with both installation methods, but neither recognizes the USB drive because of the missing RST drivers required for 10+generation motherboards. Please feel free to ask for any information, but to me, with this latest version of Windows installation key, they forgot to provide an installation route.
