    Can't detect SSD when Installing windows10

    Hi,

    Incorrectly configured BIOS settings may cause your SSD not to be detected.

    For us to properly isolate and provide a suitable resolution, we'll be needing additional information:

    • Does your gaming laptop have HDD and SSD?
    • Is your SSD a SATA or M.2?
    • Were you trying to reinstall Windows 10?
    • Can you send us a screenshot of the BIOS setting?

    Looking forward to your response.

  3. Windows phone is not detecting

    Hi Vijay,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I suggest you to connect the phone to another computer and check if it gets detected. Also, check if the phone gets detected by connecting with a different USB cable.

    I suggest you to run the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter by following the steps below:

    • Click on the Start button, and type “Troubleshooting” on the search bar.
    • Click on “hardware and devices”.
    • A pop-up will appear, click on the “Next” button and follow the on-screen prompts for troubleshooting.

    Hope the information is helpful. Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.

    SSD Not Detected

    SSD not detected at all.

    I have a Dell G3 15 3500, my laptop only has 256Gb of storage so I wanted to upgrade. I got an old SSD and used diskpart clean all to wipe it. Still the drive isn’t detected at all, not in bios, not in disk management, device manger, diskpart etc. Out of ideas, I put the drive in the PCIe 1 slot alone and powered on the laptop to enter bios and see if it was there, it was, but instead of being listed in the PCIe slots it was listed in the SATA 1 slot, I'm not even sure if that bad or not. I'm out of solutions, I'm 100% sure the SSD works but only 80-90% sure the PCIe 2 slot works.
