    I see,okay.
    As I installed (the leaked 28000) 26H1 on an older Intel CPU,
    I wonder if it would also install flawless on this Vivobook S16 with a Snapdragon X1, just not offering the X2 capabilities.

    It's based on a Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC so you must use driver from Qualcomm, X86(AMD64) driver (like Intel RST) won't load on ARM(64) platform and makes no sense. NVMe it's mostly a standard interface, it's likely you need SoC specific PCIe controller(bus) driver.

    I managed to copy the content of the official 25H2 ISO to an USB drive,
    booted it, installed it.

    Keyboard and keypad worked while instlaling and after the next reboot all drivers had been inside of the device manager.

    I then updated to 26H1, knowing it wasnt made for Snapdragon X1. But I did it.
