    Hey all,

    I got a new SSD that's running Windows 10 home. I have a couple of hard drives that have been hooked up and working to this very same computer (same MB/CPU). I want to grab some files from them, but I'm not able to do that. Help please?

    • The hard drives work. I can hook it up to a USB enclosure and see the files
    • In UEFI, I can see and select the HDDs, so they are recognized by my motherboard.
    • Once I boot into Windows 10, I can't see the drives. Device manager only lists my SSD under Disk Drives. Windows Explorer can't see them.
    • The drives are hooked up to the MB using a SATA cable, and they are powered. I can feel them spinning.
    • The drives do work - I can hook them up to an external USB enclosure and see the files - but I really want them to be internal drives.

    I've tried going through some steps like from this article, but I can't even see the drives.

    Any thoughts?

    Installing Windows 10 on HDD, then on SSD

    Skip the HDD step. Go directly to SSD. Win 10 will install and activate on the SSD with no problems.
