Hi, I've looked through the other threads here, and had my own lengthy discussions with support. Please do not tell me to download the recovery USB. Restoring to factory settings is *not the same as a fresh install of Windows*.
Every other laptop in the universe, I can install windows, then I can go to the support page for my laptop, and I can download and install all the necessary software for my laptop to work. I can even do this with other razer blade laptops, just not the 2021 blade 14 model.
This "download page" has had one single download for months. Why are there no posted downloads for the blade 14 2021? Why does it work differently than every other laptop ever? How do I know ahead of time if I buy a razer laptop in the future, whether it will have this kind of lack of industry standard support?

Okay, I assume the answer is "you can't tell whether our laptops will have no downloadable software, so you should not buy razer laptops in the future"

Since 2020 blade there’s no drivers uploaded on support page since it can be done by windows update and GeForce experience for Nvidia drivers, they only add firmware or bios update if there’s any.

Well, that sure is a wonderful solution, except for the fact that Windows doesn't even see an Nvidia GPU as existing since it switches between the onboard AMD graphics and the dedicated GPU, so it's literally impossible to install any GeForce drivers or use the actual GPU to do anything on a fresh install of windows. Truly, so glad I have Windows Update and GeForce experience instead of actual downloadable drivers!
