Windows 10 Install not recognizing new SSD

Anonymous

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!

OK. I think I figured it out.

20H2 has newer drivers for AMD SATA but they probably don't have your hardware ID.

Let's open the command prompt using Shift-F10.

del x:\Windows\Inf\AMD_SATA.INF

Now let's go back to the Windows Setup GUI and where you Load Driver.

Yeah, it's the correct mb. The installer didn't say it found a driver to install, but when I went into the file manually and clicked on the folder with win10 64 it allowed me to install it. Though it didn't look like it did anything. It's worth noting that this mb hasn't been touched since I installed it first like 5` yrs ago.

Yeah. It's going to be storage drivers that you need to get it to recognize your SATA devices.

Was that link to your motherboard support correct? When you loaded the driver did it pop up it found a driver to install?

Do you have an older version of Windows 10 install?
