Issue with Win11 install - "a media device driver is missing"

HP Victus 15-fb0222nw R5 5600H 16GB RAM 512GB SSD, GTX1650
I'm exhausted - I have been trying to install Windows 11 on my laptop without success.
No matter what changes I made in Bios - still the same line: "a media device driver is missing, this can be either harddisk, dvd, or usb"
All the solutions available are helping those with Intel CPU.
I DESPERATELY need help for a laptop with AMD Ryzen. 
The laptop is new, there are no hardware issues.
I successfully installed Linux on it, but now I have to reinstall Windows on this laptop.
No amount of internet searching is helping me with that issue.
I have a pendrive prepared with Win11 22H2 version on it, but each time I try to install Win - all I get is "a media device driver is missing, this can be either harddisk, dvd, or usb"
I've tried enabled/disabled secureboot
enabled/disabled TPM
None works.
Please - help!

This looks more like a Windows issue, I'd try to use other pendrive prepared using the Windows 11 Installation Media Software

And check Windows 11 - System requirements because some of those BIOS settings are not really optional, they must be enabled.

Hello, facing the same issue. Did you ever find a solution. I've tried everything I couldn't get past that stage, and my current OS is buggy

A workaround is to install Windows 10 and then upgrade to Windows 11.
