    Why are my internal drives not accessible by windows? And how can I install windows?


    on my hp 15-dw3033dx I have the remaining samsung nvme and I have added a HGST 500gb spinning sata. Both drives work perfectly fine when accessed via windows PE or linux mint or windows 10 vm virtualbox on linux mint. Both drives are identified properly in the UEFI firmware and the nvme is set as the first boot option. I am able to boot linux just fine from either drive and I am able to use ventoy to boot iso's stored on either drive. If I mount a windows 10 iso in winPE I am able to select these drives and format however I choose. Neither drive is accessible if I boot to windows 10

    :)
