Hello,

I’ve recently assembled a new PC with the parts listed below and I am having problems with the initial install of Windows 11 Pro.

  • MSI B850 Tomahawk Max WiFi
  • AMD Ryzen 9 7900
  • Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 64GB
  • MSI GEFORCE RTX 5070ti
  • NZXT Kraken 360
  • Samsung 990 Pro 4TB
  • HYTE Y70 Touch Infinite case

I’ve downloaded the .iso and burned it to an USB stick and after booting, I get a window titled “Windows 11 Pro Install Driver to Show Hardware” and the option to browse for the needed driver. At the bottom of this window, it reads “A media driver your computer needs is missing. This could be a DVD, USB, or Hard Disk Driver.”

I’ve downloaded and flashed the BIOS to the version 7C91v29 dated 2025-07-04. It’s been a while since I’ve built a PC and it seems like most of the hardware now comes from the manufacturer’s website with its own exe that would be run to install the driver. This is my only Windows computer so I’m not sure how I can get the drivers installed. Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Seen this many times. OP needs to go to MSI and download the drivers.

I have re-downloaded and burned the iso to a different usb stick. I’ve tried using different usb ports as well.

What program are you using to create the installation media? Try using rufus as it has additional options for creating the installation thumbdrive.

This error can occur depending on how you make the installation media. If you make it in linux with dd sometimes this can pop up.

Adding onto this, I recently built a new pc and installed windows on the secondary SSD for work purposes. Ventoy worked just fine
