    Lenovo Laptop - Win 11 - I have 2 1 tb hard drives, but only one shows up


    This is a relatively new P16 Lenovo Laptop. I bought TWO 1 tb SSDs - I KNOW they are BOTH installed as I had a tech come over for something else - and we opened up the laptop - and there are DEFINITELY TWO SSD's there and they are BOTH connected properly. And even this LENOVO tech didn't understand why I can see both I have support on the laptop - He said when you need it it will just "roll-over" to the other SSD. He couldn't understand why they both don't show in "THIS PC".This is not acceptable to me so I figured ask the Community!I've attached:1. Screengrab of THIS PC showing the 1 dri

    Cannot view area/data of hard drive above 2 TB of 4 TB hard drive

    Lenovo Laptop - Win 11 - I have 2 1 tb hard drives, but only one shows up 117561d1485975883t-cannot-view-area-data-hard-drive-above-2-tb-4-tb-hard-drive-my-pc-disks.png
    I have installed my cloned Western Digital Black 2 TB hard drive and booted up as sole drive and all went well. I then shut down my PC and disconnected the Western Digital Black 2 TB hard drive and I then reconnected my Western Digital Black 4 TB hard drive and then I converted this drive to GPT from MBR. I shut down my PC again and reconnected my Western Digital Black 2 TB hard drive, restarted and then went into my PC BIOS and set this drive as the primary boot device. I still cannot access any of the data in the just under 1700 GB partion of Disk 1. I started to assign a drive letter to this partion but a reformat was asked for, so I backed off from that option. What steps next should I take? Thank to All

    Lenovo Laptop - Win 11 - I have 2 1 tb hard drives, but only one shows up

    Windows 10 on Lenovo laptop

    Lenovo B570 ONLY shows support up to Win 8.x ( 32 @ 64 Bit ).

    https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/...ps/lenovo-b570-notebook/downloads/driver-list

    That being said, ...... it depends on if Windows 10 can install all the required Drivers to give you full functionality.

    You would also require to purchase Win 10.

    1. If i were to try this i would purchase another Suitable Hard Drive for the B570 so not to destroy the Original Windows Installation on the Present Hard Drive for this computer.
    • That way in the event of a failure in installing Windows 10 you can always replace the Original Hard Drive with the Pre-Installed Original Operating System that you bought it with.

    2. Then i would Download / Create a Windows 10 Installation Media ( ISO ) to test with before even purchasing a

    copy of Windows 10.
