Windows Driver not found
Hello,
We just got some Lenovo laptops, we followed the steps and the procedure, we reach to the point of choosing the installation disk and there we don't find the nvme, we follow forum possible cases where we download the irst drivers and go to load disk and it does not find any drivers.
Is this from your side or from windows side ? as apparently we cannot continue with those.
Apprently all the laptops come with the Online only account setup so we cannot setup it in offline mode aymore .
Thanks
Windows side. Search how to load the nvme driver (downloaded from Lenovo site for your laptop model) during Windows installation.
@vdhub I basically had this issue yesterday.
It's caused by laptop having nvme drive, and chipset needing driver for this.
For Intel CPU you would need IRST driver (I don't have steps, but there is a lot of info on internet)
I have Asus laptop on AMD, I was using Linux before, I was not able to solve this by using drivers.
But when you creating windows ISO using windows MediaCreationTool from this device, it adds existing driver to ISO (it seems)
So, I was able to install win 10 without issues, downloaded windows MediaCreationTool, asked it to create ISO, it did.
With anyburn I added that unattended.xml and was able to install windows 11 without driver issues.
My solution is convoluted a bit convoluted, but it should work. (It worked for my laptop sooo...) Took me overall 1hr to do all this.
i manage to have it work eventually but now i get other issues, for example the pc where i installed this windows start to randomly crash after some microsoft update, and i get issues like the user randomly looses pin on the account, printers stop working i get some weird error, outlook gets signed out from the account and i need to redo the login and so on, a lot of shady things . so thinking to fully erase the unit and maybe to do a fresh install, and try to somehow bypass the online login part if possible in order to have local user . but to be honest i have only issues with the image build with this

I would advice to just use IoT enterprise version instead. I'm running this several months now with 4 pcs and they work like a charm. Before discovering that version I used this tweaks from the unattended .xml file and never had any issues either.
Hi all,
Just for future reference, you need to add the NVME drivers to a USB flash drive and load them during installation, I created guides on it (unrelated to UnattendedWinstall)
