    My second m.2 drive isn’t usable?


    My second m.2 drive is being recognized in my bios hardware map, it’s recognized in device manager in windows 11 but I can use it? I just upgraded to windows 11 and wiped all may drives. It’s a Samsung 970 evo

    Printer isn´t working after latest update.

    After the latest update from Windows, my Canon Pixma ip6600 printer isnt working. In Device Manager it shows up as working properly but when I go to print it isn´t listed as an option in any programs. Troubleshoot suggests it´s a USB 2 printer on a USB
    3 port and that that´s the problem but that cant be since it worked fine before the update. I´ve tried to uninstall and plug it back in but that doesn´t work either.

    Adapter for M.2 Drive

    The adapter "steve108" listed is of the correct type.

    You need one that supports a SATA M.2 drive, and the B+M slots. M.2 - Wikipedia

    My second m.2 drive isn’t usable?

    Windows is not recognizing an NVMe M.2 drive

    Hello and thank you for contacting us. My name is Angelo and I am an Independent Adviser on here.

    Is this the only M.2 SSD you have on the mainboard or is it the second?

    Your mainboard has 2 M.2 slots but as far as I can see the second M.2 drive installed will disable a SATA port and use that drive as a SATA device.

    If not you will need to check your BIOS settings.

    Regards

    Angelo
