Dell G5 5500 Windows 11 Fresh Install - no drivers
I have a Dell G5 5500 that I've put a brand new SSD in both slots as NvMe drives in place of the original drive. I have tried a Windows 11 (and tried 10) ISO and when I go to install the Operating system, Windows Installer complains that it can not see any drives to install the OS.
Where can I get a driver or how can I get Windows Install ISO to see the drives. The drives are using ACHI and are not in RAID (Intel rapid)
I have installed Linux on it with no issues, but I want to install Windows 11 side by side.
No Events found!

You need to pause the install and load the Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver (see below).
Or, change from IRST to AHCI in setup (F2 at powerup) -- doing this will remove the need for the IRST driver.

How do I get the driver out of the EXE file. I am on linux (as I can't install Windows) and I don't have access to another machine
The BIOS is already in AHCI mode and not in IRST

It sounds more like you've partitioned the drives for a Linux filesystem -- you will need an empty space or partition on the drive that Windows can access in order to install a dual boot.

I found the problem.. it was the USB drive causing the issue.. I needed to find a windows machine to use the official Windows ISO creator
