  1. Windows Installation flash drive can't see internal storage


    I created a windows 10 flash drive out of a 22H2 iso acquired on Jan 5th. A brand new Dell Latitude 5530 laptop that I am setting up is experiencing issues, including but not limited to:Unable to uninstall OEM office. Uninstall in appwiz does nothing, uninstall in settings app does nothing as well.Can't run any executable files. claims I need to be an administrator, despite being the only local account on the PCDue to this, I tried to "Reset Windows" in settings. this was spinning for about an hour without progress so I cancelled it.I went into the BIOS, disabled secure boot, and plugged in

  2. Internal Storage Devices swap drive letters

    The machine has a M.2 PCLe NVMe SSD (the system drive), an internal HDD storage drive, and an internal optical drive
    The SATA controller was set as RAID at the factory. I never enabled RAID on the system by any means to create RAID volumes.

    The BIOS lets me change the SATA Controller to RAID or to AHCI.
    I recently made the change from RAID to AHCI in the BIOS using safemode boot procedure steps.

    Something I didn’t expect happening during this change was the internal optical Drive and the internal HDD swapping drive letters.
    Maybe I’m being a little overly apprehensive. If the data can't be restored one day for whatever reason, would keeping the drive letters the way they are assigned now and making all new backups of personal data, and creating new DVD rescue disks, and new backup DVD’s be the more prudent step to ensure the data integrity for the lack of a better term ?

    It's easy to reassign the drive letters following the excellent tutorial
    “Change and Assign Drive Letter in Windows 10 by @Brink which offers a way for correcting this on-board SATA port redirection that maybe occurred or whatever, except.....
    every DVD burned, every personal file ever backed up on the external drive using SyncBackFree, the rescue DVD, all originally created with the opposite drive letters, draws concern of potential file unrestorability, and DVD data unreliability.

    I only mention my skepticism changing the drive letter of a storage device back to what it originally was and potentially not being able to restore back ups only because some have attested that trying to restore personal files to the internal HDD lead to headaches.

    Any comments and suggestions are welcomed and appreciated.

    Not to get off the subject but,
    The Storage controller driver that installed is a Standard Microsoft NVMe driver. Any suggestions on this generic driver are also very much appreciated.

  4. Windows Installation flash drive can't see internal storage

    Can´t change the default storage drive.

    In Windows 10, you can now select where your new Windows apps from the Store will install and save data to by default instead of on the Windows drive.

    You can select to install new Windows apps to any internal or external drive, including SD cards, USB drives, and USB flash drives. You cannot use mapped network drives, and you can only use one location at a time to save apps to. The drives will not need to
    be formatted to be able to use them to install and store Windows apps.

    Windows 10 will only install new apps to the currently selected location.
    Existing apps
    do not get moved to the new location. If you wanted your existing apps installed to the new location as well, then you could uninstall the apps you want, and install them again to have them installed to the new location. You can lose
    the existing data for the app by doing this though.

    Follow the steps to change the location of the apps.

    • Open the Settings app, and click/tap on the System icon.
    • Click/tap on Storage on the left side. On the right side under
      Save locations, select the drive you want New apps will save to.
    • When finished, you can close Settings.

    Note: The default location is
    This PC for the Windows C: drive.

    Make sure you're using version 1511 and that you have another hard drive location installed, then the menu will light up like this:
