[SOLVED] Driver Bundle wont install

[Alexander5]

I’ve used WinToUSB to install Windows 11 onto the 1TB expansion card. Everything’s great and I can boot from it, but things like WiFi don’t work. I tried installind the Driver Bundle for my system, but after unpacking all I see is a command prompt window appear for a split second, then disappear, with no drivers being installed. Is there a way to install the drivers manually through device manager, or a way to get the bundle installer to work?

Hi and welcome.

Why use the expansion card ~ you do not mention another OS only the Windows

If you have an OS on the SSD search for installing windows on the expansion card

Will Windows run from an expansion card?

Hi all I have Linux installed on the main SSD; for some things though it would be nice to be able to access native Windows. If I get a storage expansion card will it be able to run from there? I would expect to use GRUB on the main SSD to choose whether to continue booting Linux from that or the Windows install on the expansion. Thanks Paul

Performance running Windows 11 from expansion?

If you search through the forum you’ll see people’s experience with running windows on expansion cards. I believe the general experience was good though.

Ended up getting help from the Discord. Turns out my problem wasn’t that I had installed windows on an external drive, but rather that my Windows installation had a lot of features removed, including WMIC, which the driver installation program requires to function properly.

Didn’t end up using it, but I do appreciate your help!
