Install Driver to show hardware

I've built a PC and tried installing Windows 11 on it by creating a bootable USB drive with the Microsoft Media Creation Tool. My PC booted up but is showing a screen that says "Install Driver to show hardware". I've downloaded all the drivers listed from the Asus support page for the corresponding motherboard model (Asus Prime B450M-A II), unzipped them and moved them to the USB, but I still get the same screen and selecting the folder with the drivers or any of the sub-folders gives me an error that says "Error: No drivers were found".

    For intel configurations, check if IRST (VMD) is enabled in bios, and switch it to standard AHCI mode. If motherboard doesn't have that option (mostly in laptops), you will need to download, unpack and put drivers on usb drive, point to them during setup - "Load drivers" link at the top.

    If it is AMD, looks that only viable option is to install 23H2 and then upgrade (if you must) to 24H2.

    I had exactly the same problem but solved it by using a different USB Flash Drive (another Commenter suggested that), but also installing Win10 instead of Win11. Then after installing Win10 I installed Win11 from the Update Tab in Settings, worked fine.

    Thanks, Elina. Is the BIOS fully updated?

    Could you try steps here:
