Your pc may be like mine and may not be able to support two SSDs. If your intel chip is version ten or less you can't add another SSD. So you''ll either have to replace the current one with one with more capacity or add a SATA SSD instead@@frankdedvukaj8767

Thank you for a very clear and precise explanation. This was my first time installing a "fancy" drive and I truly expected Win 11 to automatically detect it, with me having to format it like normally. When it didn't show up in the file manager my heart literally stopped, because I honestly thought I had ruined it with static or broke the connector (MP600 Pro XT drive, so cheap...). This video saved my sanity, thank you.

Unfortunately for me, my drive isn't recognized at all. Not in bios or disk management on bottom slot. If I put it in the top slot, my computer freezes at the boot screen. I updated the bios and this still happens. The drive works in my laptop. And if I use my laptop nvme the boot screen won't freeze (but it does kick me to the bios and won't boot)

what mobo do u have?
What do I do if the NVME drive won't show up in disk management no matter what I try. I have Uninstaller, reinstalled, changed which port it is in on the motherboard, and various other solutions I've found online. I have two 980 pros and the first is my C drive but the second will not let me use it. It shows up in the bios, the device manager, and various other places but I can't get it to show up in disk management and so I am unable to initialize it or anything.
