Missing Media Drivers

squiddwashere · July 15, 2023

When I try to install Win 10 or 11 through a USB I get to the Windows install screen but when I click install, it errors with a notification that "You are missing media drivers" What am I doing wrong? I've been looking around and seen quite a few people have this problem but no one seems to have a solution that has worked on my end. I have an MSI motherboard with a Teamforce M34 2tb m.2. Your help is greatly appreciated.

I don't know if the option still exists in Win 10 and 11, but when starting the install, you should get a a button or prompt to install extra drivers. This is where you should install drivers for network cards and drives (like your SSD) if they are not supported directly by the BIOS.

Another thing you can try is to re-download and create the USB stick installer. Sometimes the image gets corrupted on the USB stick and the only workaround is to recreate again.

Good luck !
