@Steamymoomilk recently had to do a clean win 11 install. Spent a day trying to get the Intel RST driver loaded just to begin install. After trying various sources including the recovery media from manufacturer had to take it to a few repair centers(many claimed bad SSD even though I explained what driver was needed) to just install the OS it came with.
Same laptop have installed a half dozen linux distros with no such issue.

That’s the monolithic for you, has drivers for basically everything minus NVIDIA tho.
