Windows 10: Windows 11 Install not seeing SSD

Hi,I recently got an MSI THIN and was going to swap my old SSD from my Dell Inspiron to it, I formatted the drive and when I plugged it in the BIOS recognized it, but the installer didn't, it didn't even show up in disk part. Anyone know how to fix this? It's a Crucial P3 2TB.

Windows Install - Can’t find SSD driver

I’m trying to install Windows on an Asus Zenbook Q409. When I get to the step to select the storage device and partitions, there are no storage devices listed, but it gives the option to browse for drivers. I confirmed that the SSD is functioning as it is listed in both the UEFI and works fine in an Ubuntu live boot. The SSD is a WD SN 735. When I search for this SSD the closest result I get is a SN730. Where can I find the driver for the WD SN735?

I’ve tried this with both Windows 10 and 11 bootable USBs.

 

Windows 11 clean install from HDD to SSD

Hi, Joseph. I'm Robinson, and I’m happy to help you today.

"First, can I reuse my product key automatically or is there some process I have to go through to deactivate my product key to then reactivate it when I reinstall it?"

-Yes, you can use the same product key. Once you sign in on Windows using your Microsoft account, your Windows will be activated automatically.

"Second, will it prompt me to install it to my SSD instead of the original HDD?"

-During the Windows installation will be shown a list of all drives attached to your computer, you will need to identify which one is the SSD and install Windows on it.

The easiest way is to disconnect all drives from your motherboard and let only the SSD where you want to install Windows connected. Once you finished the Windows installation reconnect the other drives

"Third, when I clean install Windows 11 to the SSD will the original HDD be completely wiped clean or will the original Windows 11 instillation be on it?"

-If you don't delete the partitions from the HDD during the Windows installation all the data in the HDD will keep intact.

If you keep only your new SSD connected to your computer during the Windows installation or do not delete the partitions during the Windows installation, you will need to use Disk Management to wipe your HDD.

"Finally, what are the step by steps to actually clean install Windows 11"

-The easiest procedure is:

Step 1: Disconnect all drives from your motherboard. Keep connected to your motherboard only the new SSD where you want to install Windows.

Step 2: Perform a clean installation of Windows on the SSD. You can see how to do it at this link.

Note: Instead of using the original Windows 11 install USB which has an outdated version of Windows, it is recommended to create a new Windows 11 install USB with the latest version of Windows. You can do it with the Media Creation Tool from this link.

Step 3: Once you finished with the Windows installation, reconnect the old HDD to your computer and wipe with the Disk Management.

1-Right-click on Start then click Disk Management

2-Right-click on the partition of the HDD and select "Delete volume". Delete all partitions from the HDD

3-Right-click an unallocated region on your HDD, and then select "New Simple Volume" and follow the instructions

I hope this information helps. If you have any questions, please let me know and I'll be glad to assist you further.
