I'm trying to install a brand new WD Blue m.2 sata ssd into my lenovo v530-15icb but it isnt recognised by windows or the bios. Ive trawled forums for hours trying different things with no luck.
I forked out for the lenovo m.2 ssd kit, I tried updating the bios, disconnecting all other drives, ive tinkered with various bios settings but nothing has worked.
I then thought maybe its faulty so bought a usb 3.0 adapter. now its recognised by windows as usb storage but i cannot access it or initialise it or utilise it in any way. If i click on it in explorer it says 'please insert disk into drive F'. So im guessing it recognises the adapter but not the ssd?
either I'm missing something or the m.2 ssd is in fact faulty, any suggestions?
