HP 15 f271wm can't find SSD on win10 install

3 Mins left to the RAM test, might as well let it finish.

I will then reset BIOS and report back.

I've toggled "Legacy Support" this seems to be the AHCI option on this BIOS (I think) it hasn't resulted in any luck.

I've tried to load drivers from that screenshot and have not gotten anything to come up, this included refreshing the list as inquired.

Still no luck with the resetting of the BIOS.

Update.

I formatted the drive via Gparted and made it a GPT partition with NTFS.

Turned on legacy boot (I THINK this is ACHI) and the drive shows up in boot menu but does not show up in windows installer.

Turned OFF Legacy boot again, it doesn't show in boot menu and still same thing, not in installer.

But I do see it in boot manager with the current partition if Legacy is Enabled.

I say use that - try to install windows?

Yeah, I did... it didn't work.

Any other ideas?

Just tried with latest build (1089) and still nothing.

I think your problem is with Gparted
as it is not a true ntfs?


windows latest is 1809

This all started with a completely blank drive. I only tried GParted just as a "let's give this a go".

Plus, I would reformat it anyway. It shouldn't NEED any sort of format to appear.

Yes, 1809... sorry, dyslexia kicked in.
