Windows 10: How do I get my SSD to show up for clean Windows 11 install?

During the windows setup process when asked where I want to install windows I get an error that no drives could be found and have the option to Load a storage driver. Why does it not detect my SSD when it does show up in the BIOS?I have a CSM menu in my BIOS with the underlined options selected: I have also tried with CSM disabledLaunch CSM = Enabled / DisabledBoot Device Control: UEFI and Legacy OPROM / Legacy OPROM only / UEFI OnlyBoot from Network devices: UEFI and Legacy OPROM / Legacy OPROM only / UEFI OnlyBoot from storage devices: UEFI and Legacy OPROM / Legacy OPROM only / UEFI OnlyB

Clean Install Workaround for Vista

You may remember this news story on techPowerUp! a couple of days ago relating to the lack of clean installs when using the Upgrade Editions of Vista, which required an old OS to be installed. However, Paul Thurrott has managed to find a workaround for this issue, which ironically lets users do a clean install Vista without any previous version of Windows, albeit a little tedious. Here are the steps:

• Boot from the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD as normal
• When prompted for a product code, leave this blank
• Select the version of Vista you have purchased and let Vista install
• When you boot to your desktop for the first time, run the Vista setup from Windows
• This time enter your product key
• When asked whether you want to do an Upgrade of Custom install, select custom and choose a clean install
• Windows will now install for a second time and you should be able to activate it

Remember, these steps are only advised for use in order to achieve a clean install of Vista, it is only legal to use the upgrade editions if you have previously purchased the appropriate version of Windows.
