Windows installation on an Acer Nitro? (lemmy.world)

G'day,

I decided to put Linux Mint on my laptop without dual booting for a while first. I have come to the realisation that I still need Windows but am having a hard time getting an installation happening. I downloaded the official Windows 11 .iso and created a bootable flash drive in Mint. It works but stops when it asks for drivers. Is this a laptop thing or an Acer thing?

On the off chance this is a Ventoy quirk, have you tried writing the ISO directly to the USB and booting it?

Haven't needed driver disks in years, so if that doesn't work, my guess is its a Acer Thing.
