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!

    Below is the support page for your motherboard, from the Storage section, download and re-install the version of Intel RST drivers they provide, restart your PC and check if you can see that drive.

    The support page gives me this message:

    For your Samsung 990 EVO Plus SSD on Windows 11, you likely don't need a separate NVMe driver. Windows 11 usually has built-in drivers that will work well with your SSD.

    And the Bios, I have updated to the latest version last week!

    Thank you for the screenshot.

    Go to the support page for your Motherboard on the manufacturers website, then from there, download and install (not update) the version of Chipset drivers they recommend and while there, if you do not have your drive encrypted with Bitlocker, check for any BIOS update that may need to be installed

    SSD 990 EVO Plus not visible (m.2)

    In that case right click your Start Button and open Disk Management.

    Expand the bottom pane in Disk Management so all drives are visible in that pane, please provide a screenshot of that window.
