Asked By CoolGamerZ42 On

I recently swapped out the 2TB SSD from my laptop to give to a friend who needed it for his desktop. Now, I'm trying to install Windows on a 1TB SSD that I had at home. The issue is that while the SSD shows up in the BIOS, it doesn't appear in the Windows Setup page. Any advice on how to resolve this?

First, make sure that you actually have Windows downloaded on that SSD. Sometimes it can get a bit tricky if the SSD isn’t formatted correctly. Also, have you tried plugging it into a different slot? Occasionally, the ports can be finicky.

I’m actually trying to reinstall Windows, so I thought that would be fine!
