Media Driver Missing Windows 10 Install

The XPS 13 doesn't have any USB 2.0 ports. It comes with two USB 3.0 ports, and one Thunderbolt 3 Type C. I don't have any older USB 2.0 drives. I'll grab one from the local Best Buy today and see if that makes a difference. I haven't touched the BIOS. Could there possibly be a setting in the BIOS that needs to be changed?

I'm reading about UEFI, secure boot, and fast boot. Wondering if any of that needs to be tinkered with?I think it couldn't hurt to turn off secure boot and fast boot. You can always enable them when your done. Made another Windows 10 installation drive, this time using a new USB 2.0. Turned off secure boot in the BIOS and tried both available USB ports on the laptop. Same results...keeps asking me for the storage driver.

Todaz i tried install clear windows 10 from Official Microsoft site, but durring installation it needed from me Media dribver.

When I get to the window that asks 'Which type of installation do you want?' I select Custom, and when it proceeds to the next page, 'Where do you want to install Windows?' , the message appears 'We couldn't find any drives. To get a storage driver, click Load driver.' Then, when I do that the next page says to insert the installation media containing the driver.

Media Driver Missing Windows 10 Install

With the 3.0 drive I used Rufus...is that a bad thing? On the 2.0 I used the Windows Media Creation tool. The drive is a 256GB SSD. No expert with this stuff, but the BIOS shows the status as Non-RAID; controller type is NVMe; controller interface is PCIe.Rufus causes a lot of problems when you don't get the overly complicated settings just exactly right for what you want to do, but that is apparently not your problem.

The problem is that Windows setup does not have a native NVMe driver included. I am not all that familiar with loading external drivers during Winodws setup but I do know that you will have to have the driver for the NVMe disk controller available either on a second USB flash drive or possibly on the same Windows 10 USB flash drive. Not knowing specifically where to get the driver or how to load it during Windows setup, I can offer what I would try next if it were me. Download Kyhi's Recovery Tools. Mount the ISO file. Replace the sources boot.wim file on the Windows 10 installation USB flash drive with the sources boot.wim file from Kyhi's recovery tools.

That will make the flash drive boot into Kyhi's recovery tools which might have the required driver included, I don't know. Then from file explorer run setup.exe from the same flash drive to start Windows setup and if Kyhi's recovery tools has the NVMe driver included, it should use that. No Apple Usb Driver Windows 10. If your laptop is running the factory software, I can tell you how to export the drivers.

Create a folder on a removable device such as a USB flash drive (if you have 2 or 3 GB room left on the Windows 10 installation flash drive it can be on that one), let's call it Drivers for example. Then in a Command Prompt (Admin) run: dism /online /export-driver /destination: E: Drivers The path in red will be to the folder you created, change the drive letter to match the external device. The NVMe controller driver will be among those exported.
