Windows 10: Disk Management Unallocated Volume Disk 2 M.2

Moved Disk 2 from my old PC to my new one, tried to install a fresh Windows 11 onto it and it wouldn't take. I tried formatting then partitioning the drive and amending the size since it stated it didn't have enough space for windows install it had 700-1000 Gb free. After partitioning it showed it had 90 Gb total space. After Disk Management shows it having 97.66 Gb available, and the rest of the drive 832.88 Gb is unallocated. I've tried extending the volume, I've tried deleting the 97.66 Gb and making a new volume. When I delete the 97.66 and make a new volume, it just makes another 97.6

M.2 SSD Drive With Windows 10 Listed as Disk 1 in Disk Management,

Hi, In my pc M.2 SSD with Windows 10 OS is listed as Disk 1 and not as Disk 0 in Disk Management. Also, the same drive is listed as Removable devices which is actually internal SSD.

Can anybody help me resolve this, please?

 

Disk Management

Hi Keith,

Thanks for providing the detail that was requested previously. Since the disk management screen that you saw is showing greyed out options, we suggest that you follow the steps below to change the partition type of your internal drive:

• Open Disk Management then right click the partition on the disk you want to covert and select Delete Volume.
• Once you complete the process you will see the whole disk shown as two separate unallocated spaces. Right-click the disk and select Convert to GPT disk.

After the conversion, you will be able to use the whole disk and then you can create new separate partitions.

We look forward to your response to our queries.
