SetupRST.exe
While Intel previously provided these drivers as a direct .zip file for easy extraction, they have largely moved to a single installer. To get the files needed for a USB boot drive, you must either find a legacy zip download or manually extract them from the executable. Method 1: Extraction from SetupRST.exe F6flpy-x64-intel Vmd-.zip
- What it is: a zipped distribution of Intel VMD storage drivers formatted for the Windows "F6" method (provide drivers during Setup via removable media or redirection). The driver supports Intel platforms that expose NVMe SSDs under VMD so Windows Setup recognizes the drives.
- Why it’s needed: Windows Setup sometimes lacks native drivers for Intel VMD-managed NVMe devices; without a correct driver, the installer won’t see the target disk. The F6-style package is intended to be supplied during Setup (legacy F6 floppy era naming retained) or injected into an installation image.
- Target systems: modern Intel-based PCs/servers with VMD enabled in BIOS/UEFI (e.g., certain Tiger Lake, Rocket Lake, Alder Lake platforms and server chipsets). Use on 64-bit Windows (x64) installers.
