#Not sure how to install Windows 10

I am using latest version of ventoy and put a windows 10 iso file from the official microsoft website in it. I am using GPT for Ventoy as well. When i boot it in winboot mode however (normal boot gives an error) it always says that I have drivers missing and not installed even though I had installed windows back exactly the same way before (through normal mode when it didn't give me an error). I am on arch linux if that matters.

This seems to be a fairly common issue but there seems to not be a distinct solution? I tried going to the Lenovo website to install specific drivers for my specific laptop but all of them were exe files which did not get detected as driver files I guess by the installer.

I do have another windows PC so maybe I can use that somehow to install windows?

I am using a IdeaPad Gaming 3 15ARH05 laptop.

The image is an example of how the page looks like but there are no driver options at all detected for mine.

Since you have another working windows pc...you can use official tool...that may work...
But.....

If ventoy worked before...then try remaking ventoy usb and copy the iso... using your other windows pc...
Then check if it throws the same issue..

Also..to use the drivers from lenovo website...you will need to extract the files...from the exe using...7zip or bandizip...

If you cant extract...then run the exe files...sometimes...the installer itself offers to extract the files....
