My old laptop is being replaced by a new tower that I built. I have Win10 OS installed on a brand new separate 500gb SSD. I am wanting to take my old M.2 2tb (which was in the old laptop) and install into the new build to continue to use the files for the new build. (There are no issues with the M.2’s functionality)
The M.2 was NOT the boot drive for the old laptop but just had gaming, videos files, etc. I inserted M.2 into new tower build. The M.2 shows up in Disk Management but how do I access the files without reformatting this drive that contains old files that I want to keep. I am unable to access data at the moment.
M.2 info:
Western Digital 2TB WD Blue 3D NAND Internal PC SSD - SATA III 6 Gb/s, M.2 22... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073SBW3VD/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_api_glc_fabc_yAEZFbVJ998AA
I also purchased a (link below to item)
NVME Enclosure M.2 USB-C adaptor to try to access M.2’s files but I am still unable to access
