Asked By TechWiz92 On

I recently moved my Windows 11 setup to a new PC but I'm trying to use my old SSD, which has Windows 10, as extra storage. I've connected it to the new machine while it was powered off, but it's not showing up at all. I really don't want to format it since there are important files on that old SSD. Any ideas on what the problem could be or how I can get it recognized?

Try searching for 'disk management' on Windows. Sometimes new drives don't automatically get assigned a letter. If the drive still isn't visible, consider using an external adapter to back up your important data before formatting it, if needed. That way you don't lose anything.
