Cannot Clean Install Windows because No Driver can be found for the Internal SSD

I have a GV601VI that I need to perform a Windows 11 Clean Install. When I attempt to boot to the Windows Installation Tool I get a message that it needs a driver for the SSD in the laptop. These are the steps I took afterword:

  • Searched for the driver in the ASUS website
  • Searched for the driver in the SSD manufacturer website
  • Sought support from ASUS, (they sent me to Microsoft).
  • Microsoft support did help and found a driver that the Windows install tool would recognize, however when it was I attempted to continue it errord on the loading.

This is the most basic and necessary remediation task for a windows machine. I am not sure why it is so difficult to do a clean installation.

If your system has an Intel chipset, have you tried their UPDATE UTILITY?
