Hey everyone, I recently built a new PC and created a boot drive using Rufus. However, when I try to boot from it, I'm hit with a message saying that it needs drivers and that it can't detect my SSD. I thought you'd normally install drivers after getting Windows set up. This issue comes up even before I'm prompted to select a language or anything. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

I faced a similar issue with my new build. When I tried using the Microsoft installation media tool, it stopped me at the system requirements due to TPM. Make sure your BIOS settings allow for TPM if your hardware needs it.
It sounds like you might want to try creating the boot drive using the Media Creation Tool from Microsoft instead of Rufus. Sometimes that's more reliable for Windows installations. Also, if you could share your hardware specs, that'd help a lot. Some setups can require specific drivers or BIOS adjustments for the SSDs to function properly.
