Here’s the process during a fresh Windows installation:

You have two options. I strongly recommend Option 1.

If you manage multiple HP laptops, consider slipstreaming this driver into your Windows image using DISM. But for a single machine, the “Load driver” method above takes 90 seconds and saves hours of frustration.

If you cannot obtain the F6flpy-x64 driver, you can disable VMD. However, this reduces performance and disables RAID features. F6flpy-x64 -intel-R- Vmd-.zip Hp

Steps to disable VMD on HP systems:

Warning: If Windows is already installed with VMD enabled and you turn it off, the system will crash with INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE . You would then need to reinstall Windows.

Thus, using the F6flpy-x64 driver is the superior, professional solution. Here’s the process during a fresh Windows installation:

It may work, but it is not recommended. Dell and Lenovo have their own hardware IDs. Use their respective F6flpy variants. However, the generic Intel driver from Intel’s website works universally.

⚠️ Do not put the ZIP file on the installation USB – use a separate USB drive or a folder on the same USB (different partition).

F6flpy-x64 denotes the architecture (64-bitFloppy). This is a "F6" driver method. Warning: If Windows is already installed with VMD

For IT departments deploying dozens of HP systems, manually loading the driver each time is inefficient. Use DISM to integrate the f6flpy-x64 driver into your boot and install images.

Example commands (run as Administrator on a reference PC):

Mount-WindowsImage -ImagePath "C:\Win11\sources\boot.wim" -Index 1 -MountDir "C:\mount"
Add-WindowsDriver -Path "C:\mount" -Driver "D:\f6flpy-x64\*.inf" -Recurse
Dismount-WindowsImage -Path "C:\mount" -Save

Repeat for install.wim (Index 1,2,3 for Home, Pro, etc.)

Once integrated, any HP system booting that USB will automatically detect NVMe drives without manual intervention.
