Yep, i think its drivers how do i install them?

That should not need any drivers. Can't really figure out at what step does the "need drivers" step pop up... M.2 SSDs don't need drivers with Windows 11.

 

Have you tried resetting BIOS options to defaults?

Latest BIOS? As that seems to be one of the last things I could guess. Perhaps latest BIOS would help.

Download the latest BIOS (F28) and extract to a USB stick preferably formatted to FAT32:

https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B660M-AORUS-PRO-AX-DDR4-rev-1x/support#support-dl-bios

 

Then find Q-Flash option in your BIOS and proceed with caution. It might take a minute or two.

what can happen if it fails?

[Tan3l6]

Don't reboot if it takes a long time and then there should be no issues. If you're not sure then don't do it. But I'm all out of all other ideas how to make the W11 install to work in this case.

Would not hurt, I'd give it a try.

Could possibly upgrade to 11 in the 10 desktop.
