    New drive for laptop


    Trying to update Dell Inspiron 5570 with WD Blue SATA SSD M.2.2280 500 GB to WD Blue SN550 NVME SSD M.2.2280 500 GB. Cloned current drive to new SSD and installed it. PC wouldn't boot saying do bootable device found. Do I need a driver for the NVME drive?

    :)

  3. Reinstall Windows 10 to new hard drive

    Hi Rodolpho,

    We want to know about the issue you're having with your recovery drive. Please answer the questions below:

    • Are you trying to reinstall Windows 8 or Windows 10?
    • If you already upgraded to Windows 10, were you able to create a new copy of the recovery drive?

    We suggest creating a new copy of the recovery drive and then follow the steps provided by Andre Da Costa above this thread.

    Update us with the outcome so we can assist you further.

    New drive for laptop

    New laptop and older external hard drive

    The laptop doesn't easily "see" the drive.. when I am in Devices and Printers... the icon for the ext HD will appear for just a few seconds.. if I rightclick on it quickly, it'll show the popup for hardware but doesn't have the info for it... does correctly
    refer to it as "USB 2.0 CD + HDD".

    I tried your list of steps, but , the HD does NOT ever show in the Disk Management list.

    I do have an older Dell that I need to see if it will recognize the HD. I'll try that next.

    THANKS for taking the time to list those steps...
