    New NVMe SSD not recognized by Windows 10


    Hi All,


    My new Lenovo laptop came with a WDC 250GB NVMe SSD and had a spare M.2 slot to which I added another

    WDC 500GB drive. Windows 10 Home Single Language edition came pre-installed in the first SSD.


    The BIOS is able to 'see' the second drive. See the boot menu image below:

    I was able to install Ubuntu in the second SSD and it works perfectly, there is no slot/electric connector issue

    whatsoever.


    The problem is, Windows is unable find the drive or initialize the 2nd SSD. I see a 'RAW' type disk in Windows

    disk manager, but my format attempt fails.

    When I try DISKPART from the command line, it does not see the 2nd SSD as a new disk but as a new volume of the first SSD !!

    See below: Volume 0, 1 and 2 are the Windows partitions in the first SSD. Volume 3 465GB is my 2nd SSD!


    Seems some where, Windows is confused about the 2nd SSD.

    I have tried almost all partition and disk recovery tools, Ease did not help, all the Parition magicians and wizards. The Western

    Digital tool Dashboard also shows only the first 250GB SSD.


    Any help would be much appreciated. My only option at this point to use the 2nd SSD seems to be to install GNU/Linux on it.


    Regards

    NVME SSD

    Tried this, and windows still didn't see the nvme ssd. It was a brand new nvme ssd right out of the box. Nothing works.

    NVME SSD

    Hi.

    Does the BIOS recognize the NVME SSD?

    Also, what is the BIOS version?

    Re-installing windows 10 on new NVMe SSD

    I am about to upgrade my HP laptop with a NVMe SSD. My laptop came with pre-installed windows 10 Home Single language in HDD.

    I want to install windows 10 into NVMe SSD. I like to know the safest process involved to do so. I went trough some website suggesting to use third party software to clone the OS , do some changes in BIOS setting. Can I just make a recovery USB from recovery
    drive in windows and then boot the laptop and install OS in NVMe and format the C drive in HDD? OR is there any other way ?
