Asus H97M-PLUS Main/Motherboard.
Intel i5 4690 (Haswell) CPU.
Intel HD Graphics 4600
Intel H97 chipset.
16GB DDR3 667Mhz system RAM.
5X 250GB SATA III RAID 0 Array.
I am running Windows 11 25h2 quite happily but not without issues setting up.
After booting a windows 11 USB Flash drive setup shows an error and cannot continue it says cannot detect disks.
Through the entire set of revisions of windows 11 so far there has been no built in SATA AHCI boot support for this motherboard.
I am not surprised as I was forced to install windows 11 in unsupported mode with the help of the rufus tool.
The official ASUS driver download for disk controller support on this model doesn't load or work for windows 11 setup and was designed for windows earlier than 10 even though official chipset support was up to Windows 10 (pathetic).
However windows 10 setup has built in support and I can install it without a boot disk driver.
In order to install Windows 11 on this system I have to first install windows 10 then launch windows 11 setup logged into windows 10.
What I need to know is has someone found a windows 11 compatible boot disk driver for hard disk support for this systems hardware considering it is backwards compatible with windows 10 drivers anyhow so I don't need to go through windows 10 setup?
I want to be able to launch windows 11 without having to have windows 10 installed to do it.
I was thinking that I have NTlite if someone could tell me where in windows 10 installation ISO is the relevant boot drivers I can extract and integrate into windows 11 ISO?
