Not entirely certain where the issue is coming from, but for most laptops the install should finish without all of the drivers just running in the included minimal set. If you can finish the install you should be able to do drivers after that and it should all be happy.
That said, an alternative is using a virtual machine. If you only use a few programs this may be a much more reliable and stable way to run Windows apps without messing with dual boot and drivers etc. The Virtualbox install is super easy and drivers are installed using the guest tools iso, so it is really simple to have fairly good graphics performance with limited overhead. You can also snapshot the image and have a known working state before updates, so if they gank something during the update you can just roll back and put off the update. Very handy for mission critical tools.
On the off chance this is a Ventoy quirk, have you tried writing the ISO directly to the USB and booting it?
Haven't needed driver disks in years, so if that doesn't work, my guess is its a Acer Thing.
