I'm impressed! Exactly the product deserves your attention.

Use the most recent Windows 10 distributions in order to install Windows 10. We load the Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver and choose an SSD device to install Windows on.
To install Windows 10 64 bit and make a bootable USB flash disk with Windows 10:
1) Download Rufus v. 32022 to format and generate bootable USB drives; 2) Download the ISO distribution with the most recent version of Windows 10 64-bit 20H1 or 20H2 with NVMe SSD compatibility; 3) Download the Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver for the HP 15s-fq2022 Series Notebook; and 4) Download the ISO distribution with the newest version of Linux;
4) Using Rufus v. 32022, we create a bootable USB flash drive with Windows 10 by loading the Windows 10 64-bit ISO image (use only the most recent distributions; the most recent Win10 edition is unquestionably required). Older Windows 10 distributions will obnoxiously complain about the absence of signed drivers in the specified Intel Rapid Storage driver folder, SWSetupSP108979F6. To make a bootable USB using Windows 10 64-bit, be sure to choose the GRT partition scheme in Rufus v. 32022;
5) Unpack the Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver file after generating the Rufus v. 32022 bootable USB flash device with Windows 10, then copy the unpacked SWSetup folder to the bootable USB flash drive with Windows 10. Enter the HP 15s-fq2022ur 2X1R7EA laptop's bios using the F10 key, choose the USB boot option with F9, start installing Windows 10, and when the disk selection screen appears, click "Load" to enter the path to the Intel Rapid Storage driver: SWSetup SP108979 F6. Once the driver is installed, Windows can be installed and the disk will appear to be SSD;
6) Download the necessary drivers from the following links: Network Driver: /en-us/drivers/selfservice/hp-15s-fq0000-laptop-pc-series/28812022; Drivers: /ru-ru/drivers/selfservice/hp-15-f2022-laptop-pc-series/35900344/model/35900346.

Pros

Beautiful, portable, 1920x1080 IPS display, 11th generation Intel Core i5 2.4GHz processor, cutting-edge Iris Xe Graphics G7 80EUs, and fully backlit keyboard (F5 mode switching). 9 hours of battery life (not tested), 512GB M.2 SSD fitted with NVMe compatibility, 8GB RAM installed in two slots, extensible to 16GB (also not tested), and other specifications. It only takes a few minutes to install Windows 10 (up until all laptop devices have their drivers updated).

Cons

Windows 10 installation issues: When choosing a hard disk using F9, the NVMe SSD drive is unavailable because the Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver needs to be loaded.
