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!

    With only the Windows 11 drive installed on your PC, when you boot up from it, are you sure you cannot access the recovery environment using these steps, it really would be the easiest option to resolve all the problems.

    Start your PC, just as Windows attempts to load (spinning dots), press and hold Power Button for 5 - 10 seconds to perform a Hard Shut Down

    Do this twice

    On the third start Windows will boot into the Recovery Environment and from there you can access System Repair, Safe Mode, Command Prompt... etc.

    Your system is Windows 11 compatible, check on the support page for your motherboard on the manufactures website for any BIOS update that may be available and not yet installed.
