Try making a Windows 11 bootable usb by using a tool called Rufus

when you're ready you should try out fedora kde plasma, very reliable os and better video drivers thanks to fedora dev team bringing wayland to kde and gnome you'd have a great time with that os and btw im using fedora right now and fedora 42 is almost out!

Congratulations on being free. 🎉

Feel free to try OpenBSD too :). I've been using Debian with KDE Plasma for a while now, I love the stability. I use Ubuntu for servers. I've been testing OpenBSD now as well. I've tested many different distros in the past. I have to deal with Windows 11 once a week for our projection software we use at my church.

I always get used to Windows and macOS, but I do like free and open source software. I have no proper experience with Linux desktop (KDE,, GNOME, XFCE, LXDE, MATE, etc..), but I do have get used to Linux server (Ubuntu, RHEL, Fedora, openSUSE, Mandriva, etc..). And I like how gaming on Linux gets strong support for the OpenGL and Vulkan APIs, as gaming on DirectX and Metal is sucks.

I legit install both Mint and Arch without a USB, Just made a tiny partition on my drive haha Mints pretty cool. I personally use CachyOS which is Arch based. Easy to acquire gaming optimized Kernels and don't even have to manually deal with your GPU drivers, unless you decide to.

Here's an explanation about the issue you're facing with VMD: On some computers the Windows installer does not detect any drives with Intel VMD enabled due to a missing IRST driver, you can find the Intel IRST driver on your manufacturer's driver download page and extracting it on something like a usb (preferably one that is not the same one you're booting into the installer with) and then selecting the extracted folder on the windows drive selection on "Load driver" and selecting "Browse...". If you want to know what Intel VMD is, it is essentially a technology used to manage multiple NVMe SSDs more efficently, which is best suited for servers and enterprises, so while you likely will not need it, it is one of those things that are better to have enabled if you can. On a sidenote, Ventoy should work just fine with the latest Windows 11 release. Do you happen to have Secure Boot enabled when installing Windows/Linux? I hope this helps clear up your confusion.

Protip on minecraft, use prism launcher. The default mojang launcher sucks. Prism is way better and doesnt use as many resources anyway

There should be an option in the bios to change the sata controller mode by default it should be set to AHCI try setting it to Compatible and see if that fixes the problem that should bypass the driver.

installed new update yesterday. suddenly WITHOUT MY PERMISSION my default browser got changed from FIREFOX to fckn EDGE ! I am furious ! this would never ever happen in Linux. Linux-MINT-ROCKS!!!

If it wasn't for the fact that a lot of online games won't run on Linux, I wouldn't be running any version of Windows.

Disable intel RST in bios.

i use arch

I've used Ventoy to install Windows 11 on my bro's PC, and it worked out for him. I suggested to him Linux, but he wanted 11. He's still using 11 on it to this day installed with that method. It probably didn't have the VMD thing tho which is weird as to what all that's about causing these issues with Windows on some setups. Only just learning about it. Currently using Mint too on my PC. I like it :)

Happy Linuxing :)

Switched to Linux Mint 22 this week. After I realized how much time I sacrificed to Windows. It's astronomically faster in every way. The virtual machine of win11 I installed is faster than the desktop. I'm just waiting on a good custom window tiling manager for mint (Like Fancy Zones on Windows). Linux is for Computer People, Apple is for Creative People, Windows is for people who like problems.

I love the chaos at the beginning of the video :D

Unfortunately I am getting the same issue with Linux where it doesn't detect the internal drive on a lenovo laptop, possibly cause of this bios setting (would need to check this), the laptop is currently installed with Windows on it.

MS is playing with you people, they want to give people the feeling your computer is broken so you go buy a new PC. If you really want good computing, install Linux Mint OS or Zorin OS.

Linux mint will solve the problem

find the driver from the laptop's page and use that to install

I had ideapad 3 15itl6 where i had to disable intel VMD to get the ssd to be recognised by bios even though it was recognised by windows and linux. Wouldn’t boot from it unless vmd disabled.

try to install linux

Alternate title: Middle School project gone wrong

I dont care how little software runs on Linux im not going back to windows. Plus Wine cant run a lot of software but bottles and Proton are goated.

i had the same problem when i came back from linux on my laptop because some programs didn't run well in wine

I like Manjaro personally . Mint is nice . Ya the vmd controller is for raid so you really don't need it unless you are running a raid array in your system . A raid array is where you combine two drives for double the storage and slightly faster speed . It just uses different drivers because of the Intel raid rst it's different from ahci that's basically just using one drive and it's much faster than raid unless you have two drives in raid . Ventoy doesn't work for anything much except Linux I've noticed it doesn't have secure boot and the best program for loading windows is Rufus or the windows USB installer . I do like windows 11 but it comes with some issues if you don't game you don't really need it but for my use it won't work only reason I mentioned Manjaro is because of Aurora it will allow you to convert Debian apps to arch it's not perfect . Well right on man. If Linux works for you I have a USB with Manjaro on it but Windows has what I need at the moment .

These kind of bumps and bruises are why I abandoned Windows where I can.

All you need to do is update your bios then use rufus to flash windows 11 24h2 iso and it should be detected, (Use USB 2.0 port) It's kinda manufacturer problem. Or just use Linux. cuz microsoft's os is just bloated

Skill issue tbh. The hardware inside the laptop is newer than the drivers bundled into the Windows 11 iso. So you either download the latest package from the Lenovo support page (with the exact serial number on the laptop) or wait for the next major windows update which would come out in 8 or 9 months.

Hey i have had this issue on my laptop! Just disable vmd in bios and ur drive will appear lol

last time i had to deal with this was with a laptop from 2007

Linux Mint time

Microsoft has flung us back to the 1980"s. Congrats Microsoft . Nice one!

Man, this is the most uninformed video I’ve watched today. Why are you using Ventoy in the first place? Not only is it buggy but it’s no longer being developed. You should be using Rufus as that is the tried and trusted method and it has far encompassing support. I also find it funny that you blaming Windows for a problem that your hard drive manufacturer created. The Windows Installation environment uses generic drivers to ensure that it is compatible with as many devices as possible. Unfortunately companies like Samasung don’t bother making sure their storage devices work with basic drivers requiring you to have to install the required drivers yourself. Also did you try using the classic set up experience?

The State of Windows - is just a f-mess, full of adverts, telemetry and gash useless updates that bork the crap out of it. Total RUBBISH.

Worse than that, my windows 10 with latest update, suddenly stoped detecting my DVD drive. I mean why?

Dump Windows and go Linux (try the LinuxMint distro)

I am not a tech, so I'll ask why do you need installing a driver to show hardware? What is a decent laptop? My exVista Asus F5RL is a decent laptop, on Linux Wilma. After refurb and cleaning inside. That doesn't mean Win11 owes me the ability to install it on this machine. I wouldn't touch Lenovo with a long pole anymore. Many other decent choices out there. Installed Win11 23H2 into my QEMU virtual machine on Linux, without much struggle. That on Dell Latitude, about 3 years old. Chatbot is my troubleshooting champ. I said I am not a tech, but often I perform actions any tech would be proud of, thanks to the bot.

i actually on the same page i dont even like windows 11 lol am happy for windows 10 home works perfectley on my desktop nice video keep good work :D

update hal

I have a Lenovo Legion Pro 5. It's not my favorite laptop I've ever owned. It's okay, but yeah, Windows 11 sucks on it. I'm about to run a dual boot and put Fedora 40 on it and try to game with that. Linux is coming a long way. I'd like to see SteamOS release where I can put it on my laptop instead and just play Steam games on my gaming laptop. Just bypass Windows totally. I believe it's coming to this soon.

dont use ventoy use rufus its good if you use ventoy he cant write the driver in the flash drive becuse you using iso file not extract file

This is the first time in over a decade ive seen anyone install drivers at install, this was like a blast from the past. The whole point of adding drivers to windows update in windows 8 was that you dont have to do this, just install it and run the updater and everything will install on its own.

What I did: 1. Get a different Windows 11 ISO, put it into Ventoy (Make sure to choose the right partitioning GPT or MBR), 2. Do a Normal Boot in Ventoy, 3. Click next until you get the option that lets you use the old Windows 10 installer and after that everything worked flawlessly. P.S. I've had this issue everytime I've had a bad ISO file and the only way to fix it is boot in normal mode after getting a new ISO. Also yeah Ventoy sucks, Rufus is THE WAY to make a bootable Windows USB but Ventoy does work, just keep trying new ISOs there will be one that works.

at this point just use linux for the laptopo

You can use rufus or also if you can get it to boot with your method you might need to download the raid drivers for your Lenovo for your processor model/generation you will need to put it on the usb and search for the driver. during installation acer has this issue too. it's because you can't disable raid and change it to ahci mode in the bios windows installation needs the raid drivers to see your drives. You may have to use an older driver as well you'll have to search for the year maybe some forums have some other drivers. Or if you have another pc you can try to install it inside of that pc and put the SDD inside your laptop.

use linux
