Question M.2 SATA SSD Not Showing Up in Windows – Need Help

[parvezsalman021]

Hi all,

I recently installed an M.2 SATA SSD in my laptop/PC, but Windows does not recognize it. I checked Disk Management, but the drive is not listed.

• The SSD is brand new.
• BIOS shows the drive, but Windows cannot see it.
• I have tried different SATA and M.2 slots.
• Other drives on the system work fine.

Could this be a driver issue, formatting problem, or something else? I’m not sure what to do next. Any suggestions would be very helpful!

Thanks!
