Question Accidently delete ssd driver

[sorryham]

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

This is what happens when you blindly follow some random youtube video without fully understanding the possible consequenses. Looks like a wipe/reinstall is in your immediate future.

Is there anything i can do to recover the driver?

Nothing you're capable of based on past posts. Wipe/reinstall is the way forward here.

So all I need to do is wipe and reinstall my pc right?

That will get you to a known good state.

Whether this drive actually works is a different question.
Might be the drive, might be the motherboard port.

You don't reinstall a pc. You wipe the drive and start from scratch, installing Windows first from your legally obtained source material.

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.

But what I deleted was the disk driver of the new ssd.
I tried removing the ssd and reinserting it, but the driver didn't come back.
This is a picture of the page where I deleted the driver.
--UMIS is the ssd that comes with the laptop.

I don't know which Windows Storage Spaces you mean, so I took two.

My SSD still appear in bios

Go into BIOS and disable
NVME raid,
StoreMI and
secure boot.

Click on Control Panel/Storage Spaces and make a screenshot.
You clicked on Control Panel/Storage Spaces/Create a new pool and storage space.

There's no need to create a new storage pool. Just need to see, if one is already created.
If it is already created, then it would need to be deleted.

In my bios there is no nvme raid and storemi but I have turned off secure boot.

Windows 10/11 has in-box NVMe drivers. Did the manufacture specify that separate NVME drivers are needed for getting it detected in Windows?

I would run Live Hiren Boot DVD and also Live Linux to check if these live discs can detect and mount the SSD in question.

Check with Lenovo support, what is the max size of NVMe SSD supported by the laptop board. Ideally should not be an issue as BIOS is detecting it.

Try reinstalling chipset drivers for your laptop.
