Answer 2

Hi,

Please boot into BIOS/UEFI to see if the new SSD can be recognized correctly. If not, try enabling/disabling the Compatibility Support Module (CSM). If it's a SATA SSD, you may need to change the SATA mode, depending on your motherboard.

If the SSD still cannot be detected, ensure that it is properly connected to the motherboard.

If there are multiple SSD connectors on the motherboard you can switch to another one. Also replace the SATA cable if you are using a SATA SSD.

Best Regards,
