Unable to install Windows 10 on Precision 7540
I’m trying to perform a fresh install of Windows 10 Pro on DELL Precision 7540 laptop.
I’ve prepared a flash drive with Windows install ISO but when the installer starts it complains about missing drivers.
I’ve downloaded Intel RST drivers (tried the f6flpy-x64.zip file from https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/28650/Intel-Rapid-Storage-Technology-Intel-RST-User-Interface-and-Driver?product=55005 as well as drivers from https://www.dell.com/support/home/pl-pl/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=4ycwf) and when I point the installer at directory with contents of that archive it does recognise that there are drivers there. However, when I try to continue, it does not find any new device drivers and doesn’t proceed.
I’ve tried resetting BIOS to defaults and factory settings as well as changing SATA Operation configuration between AHCI and RAID On modes but none of it helped.
Can anyone point me to drivers I’m supposed to download and use with the installer? Or Windows 10 Pro ISO image I’m supposed to be using?

Turns out the issue was in how I’ve created the USB flash drive. Since I didn’t have Windows machine I simply used ‘dd if=win-10-image.iso of=/dev/sdb’ to copy Windows 10 install ISO to the pendrive. That resulted in the aforementioned issues.
Running out of ideas I’ve decided to try a different method and used Ventoy (https://www.ventoy.net/) which worked.
