Unable to install Windows 11 on dual-boot system with openSUSE Tumbleweed

I'm trying to install Windows 11 alongside my existing openSUSE Tumbleweed installation on a Lenovo laptop. However, I'm encountering issues during the Windows 11 installation process.

When I reach the "Where do you want to install Windows?" step during the Windows 11 installation, I receive an error message stating: "We couldn't find any drives. To get a storage driver, click Load driver." After clicking "Load driver," I get another error: "No signed device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click OK." followed by "To install the device driver for your drive, insert installation media containing the driver files, and then click OK. Note: the installation media can be a CD, DVD, or USB flash drive."

Steps to reproduce:

1. Boot from the Windows 11 installation media (Ventoy USB drive).
   
2. Follow the prompts until reaching the "Where do you want to install Windows?" step.
   
3. The error messages mentioned above appear, preventing me from continuing the installation.
   

Expected behavior: The Windows 11 installer should recognize my storage devices (SSD and HDD) and allow me to proceed with the installation process on the desired partition or drive.

Actual behavior: The installer fails to detect any available drives or storage devices, and the error messages suggest missing or unsigned storage drivers.

Environment details:

• Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed (latest version)
  
• Kernel Version: 6.8.4-rc1-1-default
  
• Laptop Model: Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 15IHU6
  
• BIOS/UEFI Version: H4CN34WW(V2.03)
  

Relevant configuration:

Attempts and research:

• I have downloaded the latest storage drivers for my Lenovo laptop model from the official Lenovo website.
  
• I have added the extracted driver files to the Ventoy USB drive alongside the Windows 11 installation files.
  

Please let me know if you need any clarification or have additional details to provide. I appreciate any assistance in resolving this issue and successfully installing Windows 11 on my dual-boot system with openSUSE Tumbleweed.
