Windows 10: I want to do a clean install but the drives do not appear

I am trying to make a clean install of windows 11, however, the drives do not appear during the installation. I had asked the same question before: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_11-windows_install/how-to-do-a-clean-install-when-the-mouse-pointer/6b093b13-c4b9-4845-8295-310051fbff84?messageId=dc9ac366-758b-427a-84ed-c526523c00b5&page=1 I followed Gunasekar's instruction by downloading IRTS drivers and extracting them to the portable USB, but the drives continue to not appear.

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.

Clean installation of Windows 10 using installation media

Greetings. I am attempting to do a clean install of Windows 10 using the instructions found at Reinstall Windows with the installation media - Microsoft Support .
I was able to successfully create the installation media on a USB thumb drive. However, when I performed the steps for the actual installation I got up to the Use a device screen but my thumb drive does not appear on the list. The two options that do appear
are: Onboard NIC (IPV4) and Onboard NIC (IPV6). Suggestions? Thanks.
