SAMSUNG SSD 990 EVO Plus (m.2)

Motherboard: Gigabyte Z370 HD3P-CF

Windows NT Home

I see the SSD in the Bios but not in the manager or explorer.

When booting from an old windows 10 disk it is visible, but not in Windows NT

Please help!

Thanks!

    If you can boot into Windows 10 now, right click your Start Button and open Disk Management.

    Please provide a screenshot of that window showing both drives in the bottom pane.

    Rest assured, that driver update cannot affect your motherboard, and it is also the recommended driver for your system.

    Are you also getting a blue screen when you try to boot up the old Windows 10 installation that the driver was not installed into?

    This is very strange, if you cannot access the Recovery Environment using those steps, then you will need to create a bootable Windows 11 USB on another working PC and boot your PC from that, then rather than installing Windows 11, select ‘Repair this Computer’ that will give you access to the Recovery Environment from there

    In the Recovery Environment on the USB, try each available option.

    Click this link:

    https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/win...

    to download the Media Creation Tool to create the bootable USB.

    Then, Boot your PC from the Installation Media you just created (change Boot Order in your BIOS)
