Okay so i bought a laptop 2nd hand was running fine had windows 10 as its OS, decided to do a clean install of windows 10 when doing so i deleted all partions using windows 10 media creation tool then installed windows 10 and it was running perfect. After this i rememberd i forgot to format it after i deleted all the partions on the drive. and i did the whole thing again but this time deleted all partions then formatted the only one remaining (which you cannot delete). (Unknown to me it had a ssd in it) now the laptop runs very slow and like sh*t. and now i cant play games and it gets VERY hot. Its a hgst/hitachi ssd. Now i need to know what to do to repair/fix it. ANY HELP APPRECIATED.
 
Solution
i think its just playing up now cause you haven't re enabled the raid in intel rapid storage technology. cache = raid 0

The 8gb would show in there anyway, as explained in the HP link about why its only showing that much now.

if you had formatted the msata it would be showing as 32gb, as it still shows as 8gb I think its still as it was before the win 10 install.

Win 10 probably ignored it when you formatted it all cause its too small to really install win 10 on (though I know of people running win 10 on 32gb drives, that is only out of lack of any other choices)

fix is to read the HP link in my last post, it should be all you need to do.
