Solved SSD not showing up in Disk Management etc.

[sezan1]

The M.2 SSD is showing up in BIOS though just not on windows

It has windows 10 on it, I'm currently using my old HDD because I prefer windows 7 in all honesty

I want to use the SSD for programs, so I plan on formatting it etc but it's not showing up in Disk Management


HDD kills Display

If it's windows 7 it will need drivers in order to see the drive

alright, what do I do? can I add them in now or?

You need to set on AHC Iin the bios first it may then see it if it still doesnt then you can add drivers if needed

I'll check th bios but I think it'll probably be fine, do you have a dl link to this file? been looking

It's already set to that bud

Horse feathers. I never needed to add any drivers to install SSDs in my Win 7 machines. AT most, all that is needed is to have the BIOS set for AHCI (which all my machines were already set to).
