Windows 10: W11 instalation ASUS ROG asus hero z790

Hi,I'm really stucked in W11 instalation, it always says some drive is missingI have done a lot of things- Update BIOS do the lasted version- Disable secure boot- Disable VMD-download the lastest RST Intel drives from ASUS support page, tried to install, it fails or still missing.-Download ISO media install, check shasum and copied to two different pen drive.The windows that say some drive is missing, typed SHIFT-F10 and use diskparted to list drives. It recognize SATA disks and NVMe disk.Windows 10 pre-installed works fine, but do not detect NVMe diskLinux works fine also, detects all NVMe di

W11 on an ASUS ROG Maximus Z790, the BIOS at default settings defaulted to “Other OS.”

I’m afraid when I recently installed W11 on an ASUS ROG Maximus Z790, the BIOS at default settings defaulted to “Other OS.”

Can I just switch the BIOS setting to UEFI and everything will be fine?

I own a ASUS Z370 ROG Maximus X Hero Motherboard and I plan to install Windows 10 64bit.

If we take a closer look at the following driver comparison list between the Intel and ASUS websites, we can see some discrepancies between the driver versions and the file size.

My confusion arises from the Intel website stating that the drivers are "Generic Intel Drivers' and in the download description notes it states that some manufacturers "customize" the generic Intel driver to meet the needs of their system design. (Examples shown in the pictures below.)





















So my questions are:
(Q1) Which drivers can be downloaded from the Intel website without the risk of losing any features / customizations for my specific motherboard ? (ASUS Z370 ROG Maximus X Hero Motherboard)

(Q2) Which drivers should be strictly downloaded from the ASUS website ?

(Q3) How could I identify any drivers that have been "customized" on the ASUS website ?


Any help would be appreciated, Thanks in advance.

Very good questions. So I went to look.

Now the numbers don't match at all but if you squint and shorten .18019 to .1

and .8144 to just .44

Then the numbers match what the Asus tool found. I know, I know I'm stretching it.
