How to install Windows 10 on Asus laptop if NVMe SSD is not visible during installation?

Question

Windows

When installing Windows 10 on an Asus TUF Dash F15 FX516pmHN013 laptop, NVMe SSD (namely SAMSUNG MZVLQ5 12HBLU-00B00) is not displayed. In the BIOS itself, the SSD is displayed, and from there I took information about the SSD installed on the laptop. Tried to install via bootable flash drive. I used the official Microsoft program for burning Windows to a USB flash drive and Rufus. Help solve the problem, please.

Answer 1

On reddit they write that the problem is in the 11th generation of Intel processors. Found this guide .
In short: go to the BIOS (F2 at boot), find Advanced Mode (F7) there, on the Advanced tab go to the VMD setup menu and change Enable VMD controller to Disabled. Then F10 save the changes and reboot. After that everything should be ok.
There is also an option to install an additional driver, but you need a driver for Intel Rapid Storage Technology, not for the motherboard. The link is in the same guide, but personally I would use the first option.

Answer 2

Download the motherboard driver to a USB flash drive and select this driver in the corresponding menu during installation.

Answer 3

It helped to disable secure boot in BIOS during installation

Answer 4

In my case, during installation, the drivers either were or were not depending on the version of Win 10. I saw LTSC, but after a reboot it went into a blue screen. The image downloaded via mediacretiontool got up the first time.

Answer 5

Intel® VMD is a feature of Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors that allows you to directly monitor and manage NVMe SSDs from the PCIe bus without additional hardware adapters.

I read that if you disable VDM in the BIOS, the speed of accessing the OS to the disk decreases (I don’t know how reliable this is)
