    i still have access to the old install btw, its on my old starting to die ssd, its still stable though, would copying over any of the drivers work? its clearly a driver issue... as its not detected at all, no noise no charging... no nothing

    nope but it was working on that install, so maybe if i copy the drivers over (any of the serialbus) drivers it will work

    Yes, that's possible, but first, is it also Windows 11? or 10? if it is 11, please try to copy it over.

    Please let me know if this works for you. I'll do my best to respond as soon as possible.
