No drives in Windows installer??? (Intel RST)

TIL some laptops require the Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver to be installed for thier boot drives to show up when installing Windows.

Annoyingly it only comes in .exe installer form.

Thankfully, according to https://www.reddit.com/r/intel/comments/1762sj6/comment/k4nj1lg/ this comment on Reddit, you can extract the driver within cmd.

Just follow those instructions or when you can't access another Windows device, use cmd in the installer by pressing Shift+F10.

That was complicated!
