  • Опубликовано: 18 дек 2018
  • When I recently bought and installed a new SSD in my computer I ran in to the issue of it not showing up in the explorer. There is a simple fix for this that you can do in just a few seconds that will most likely make the disk work as it should.
    My recommended NVME SSD: amzn.to/2nE87If
    My recommended 2,5" SSD: amzn.to/2nHnIqj

    Excellent - I thank you. Win10 is a little bit different now, 30months later, so the sequence changes a tiny bit, but still easy to follows and 100% works. I also applaud you for not waffling - just getting into plain, simple, easy to follow steps.

    2024 and still works! If the following case is happening to you too, you should give it a try!
    I installed W10 on my new M.2, but I already had an SSD installed. After installing W10, my old SSD was not showing up on "This PC". So I just followed this video and it worked!
    Now both my SSD and M.2 are showing up in the system.
    Thank you sir! Liked and subscribed.
