Trying to install windows on my new build and running into an issue saying it needs a driver... but ofc doesn't state which driver...

MSI B650I Edge Wifi Motherboard
AMD 8700G processor
Samsung 990 EVO Plus

This nightmare of trying to get drivers and of course they come in .exe format for some ungodly reason, which windows can't run BEFORE it's installed. so again wtf. lol.

Unfortunately, I don't have another computer to try to extract it that way...

any ideas?

I have no idea why this worked, but simply creating a live windows usb flash drive worked without any issues. Was able to install windows from there.
