HP installs an M.2 Optane 512Gb in this new laptop which is not sufficient for my needs. I bought a Sabrent Rocket NVMe 4.0 2TB M.2 and installed it. The laptop's BIOS detects the new SSD just fine. When I boot from USB and begin the Windows install process, the setup does not see any drives to install Windows onto. The laptop does not have a "legacy" option, only UEFI.
Here's what I have done so far:
Turned off "Secure Boot" in BIOS
Tried loading various Intel RST drivers.
Opened DISKPART|List Disk (it only sees the USB drive I booted from)
Installed a regular 2.5" SSD in the laptop bay (again, BIOS detects it correctly, but windows setup does not see it)
Made sure BIOS and other firmware was up to date
Deconcatinated Optane SSD before removing it.
This Sabrent M.2 SSD should work. The 2.5" Toshiba SSD should work... but Windows setup just doesn't see it.
Windows setup USB drive was made with media creation tool 5 days ago.
I'm puzzled. What am I missing here?
