    SSD as Boot Drive? How?

    Well, I have Windows installed on the SSD, along with the drivers and browser. Now, I'm trying to install other stuff (Steam, games, etc.), but the mechanical drive isn't showing. I'm sure I missed a step?

    How do Install Windows 11 on a replacement SSD for my PC

    I have a GEEKOM miniair 11 with a 256 MB ssd drive. I want to upgrade to a 1 TB SSD drive.

    The 1 TB SSD has no OS. How do I get Windows 11 for my replacement drive? I only have one slot for the SSD. I read I cannot use an external USB connected hard drive cannot be used as a boot drive to reinstall Windows 11 on the new SSD. Any suggestions?

    New SSD drive not showing in windows 11

    Windows 10 Installation Media - SSD drive not showing up

    Hello all,

    I am running into a weird issue trying to install windows on a secondary SATA SSD (to be transferred to another PC). When I boot into the installation media, only my computers primary M.2 disk is displayed. When opening the command prompt (via Shift+F10) from this installation media screen, and entering the commands "diskpart" and "LIST DISK", only the primary disk and the USB disk for the installation media is shown.

    Now the odd part is that I have already booted into Windows on my primary drive, and confirmed that the new drive shows correctly in disk management, and have formatted the drive with MBR and NTFS settings. Running the "diskpart" and "LIST DISK" commands properly shows the secondary drive.

    I have also confirmed the drive shows correctly in BIOS.

    So to recap, the secondary SSD I want to install windows on is formatted, shows in bios, and shows in windows, but does NOT show from the command prompt in the installation media or on the list of available installation disks. Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance
