Issue performing a clean Windows installation

Nightgypsy​ Having a RAID setup would certainly do it.  The type would definitely matter if you cared about data loss, but since you're wiping the drive(s) anyway, I guess you don't have to care about that.  In case you're still poking around, this is a case where the Wikipedia entry has all the relevant information and not too much extra.

In terms of reinstalling Windows, the way I would go about it is to save the graphics driver, and all the drivers from the product support site, on a separate USB.  Perform an offline installation of Windows 11 so that the OS doesn't install any drivers for you at all.  Install your saved chipset drivers, reboot, install the graphics driver, reboot again, install any other drivers HP provides (and not any bloatware it pushes, of course), and only then go back online.  You'd get exactly the drivers you want before Windows had a chance to interfere in the process, and offline also means you can keep your Windows account local.

You do of course need a separate drive or USB, or at least a separate partition on your existing one, since creating the bootable installer erases anything else on that drive.

If you were to perform an online installation, Windows would definitely attempt to install the graphics and chipset drivers it found suitable, which you could replace later, so it's probably fine but maybe not as clean an approach as you're looking for.
