For Lenovo, install Win10 from a USB, install Lenovo Vantage, hit update.
For Dell, install Win10 from a USB, install Dell Command Update, hit update.
Manuallyneeding to find and install drivers stopped being a thing after Win10 1709, which was 6 years ago at this point.
Win10 will almost always get you fully updated drivers if you just keep hitting Windows Update on a fresh install.
I bet you it’s because of the intel RST settings in the UEFI. If RAID is turned on the RST driver is needed. Ive ran into this exact same issue, not being able to see my drives when installing windows. Swap over to AHCI and the windows installer should see the drives.
Note that changing that setting can cause problems for existing OS installations. Make a backup and do your research before changing that.

I cant install Windows because of missing drivers. I know vantage is the tool to use
What? Drivers usually come after the windows install. Whats the error?

Its an AMD laptop with an NVME ssd.
For sure iRST. Will sometimes need the chipset driver to detect the SSD/HDD during install when that’s enabled.
Thanks for the tip!
