Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 16" Codename: Taniks

I need a driver that will make the internal ssd show up during setup

no, you need to create you install media properly, and not use a stripped ISO.

does no one search before posting anymore?

Then what did I do wrong? I used Rufus with GPT partitioning, I even had it disable the hardware check so I wouldn’t have to manually. what else do I need to do? I don’t know a lot about this and it seemed like no one else was having this problem.

even your uefi software doesn’t see the internal drive

then it’s not a Windows driver issue, is it?

TANIKS/TAEKO require setting the internal storage type in the UEFI settings. Might take 2-3 reboots after to show up.
