Hey all,

I'm currently trying to install windows on a new ssd through a windows 10 media creation tool install on a USB drive. I get as far as setup, where I try to install windows to a drive, and by new drive doesn't show up. The drive has never been partitioned or used before. I already tried shift+f10, and the only drive that pops up is my USB. The drive shows up in BIOS. 

Thanks!

    Thanks for the info.

    We will perform some checks please.

    Configure your BIOS for Legacy instead of UEFI and if you have a Secure Boot option, please disable it.

    Recreate the bootable USB using the link below, using the Rufus tool, select the mbr option when creating.

    Yes. This driver is used when Windows is loading.

    The readme file for the installation notes:

    Installation Notes

    The driver can be installed either during OS setup or as an update

    To install the driver during OS setup use the setup dialog window (use the advanced settings to configure the Windows Setup program to use the specific driver; click “Load Driver” to load the specific driver from the media that includes the driver).

    Let me know.

    A typical sata ssd. It’s straight out of the box.

    Great. I’ll still be able to boot off the same drive, right?
