  1. 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

    :)

    cant install windows 8 on my cruciall ssd drive

    Yeah, that was going to be my next suggestion. You can actually access the command prompt from inside the Windows installer, then run DiskPart and do a Clean command on the drive.

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
