I bought a ssd kingston snv2s 1tb and installed it in my laptop lenovo ideapad gaming 3 15arh05. After I installed it, when I turned on the computer, I found that the ssd was not showing up in the computer, disk management and anywhere else in the computer. But when I went to check in the bios it detected the ssd. So I tried to check device manager and turned on show hidden device then my new ssd is showing. But has error code 45 So I went to look at the method on YouTube and it told me to try uninstalling the driver and then trying to press scan for hardware changes to get it reinstalled, but the driver didn't come back. Please help me.
#Note
ssd still appear in bios
 
Is there anything i can do to recover the driver?
Install NVME driver.

You can get it from gigabyte windows usb install tool.
NVME driver is generic. Your pc doesn't have to be manufactured by gigabyte.
Also don't get confused about description, where it says, it's meant for windows 7.
It works on windows 10 and 11 just fine.

Download any Windows USB tool. Motherboard chipset version doesn't matter.
Extract zip archive , find
\StorageControllers\Intel_NVMe\Driver64
Right-click on inf file and choose install.

BTW - ex_bubblehead is fearmongering you. (n)
Full reinstall just because of a deleted driver - this is ridiculous.
