Windows 10: My Laptop's internal Hard Disc has failed. How do I reinstall windows 11 to my newly added SSD

My Laptop's internal Hard Disc has failed. How do I reinstall windows 11 to my newly added SSD

How do I reinstall windows 11 to my newly added SSD without cloning?

I recently bought an M.2 NVME SSD for my laptop which only had a 1TB HDD since I bought my laptop. So my windows 11 is in my HDD as of now and I would like to reinstall it in my SSD without cloning, So is there any way through which I can do this? I read an article regarding the same but it was for windows 10 and it mentioned that you will have to download the "Create Windows 10 Installation Media" from the official Microsoft website and simply take a bootable USB Pen drive and flash that ISO file in it and once done with this process restart and boot your system via that bootable pen drive and install in whichever newly added drive you want and you are done but the thing is for windows 11 there are two types of files available on Microsoft's official website and those are "Create Windows 11 Installation Media" and "Download Windows 11 disk Image (ISO)", So I am confused that which one should I use? the former one or the later one?

 

Internal SSD Detected as an HDD/ Disc Drive

After asking my laptop manufacture and looking more into it, I believe that it has to do with the operating system (windows 10) not knowing what my SSD is. My laptop and steam deck that have the same issue both use a M. 2 2230 size drive which is a new form factor that windows 10 does not recognize as an NVMe SSD but instead as a USB HDD. Again it showed as an SSD in windows 11 and on linux with the SD so I am assuming win 10 does not official support 2230 size SSDs.

For anyone else having this issue I still have not found a solution after reinstalling all AMD chipset drivers, BIOS, and setting my SSD as internal storage in the registry.
