I'm finding it impossible to get my m.2 drives recognized by windows 10* in a Toshiba laptop over USB 3.0 type A (or any of the other USB ports on this laptop). Both drives are in SSK NVME enclosures.
One drive, a Samsung 970 / 1tb was formatted exfat using a Linux laptop and isn't recognized at all. The other came pre-formatted as fat32, is a Team 1tb NVME drive that once again works fine on the Linux laptop and in this case the windows10 laptop recognizes the enclosure but not the drive within.
I looked for drivers to update both on the web and via the windows' internal process. No joy. Any ideas? I think both drives being recognized and working in several Linux laptops means both the enclosures and the drives are good. Ahem, what to do to bring windows 10 into 2024??
Thanks
* the Installation of Win 10 is as updated as it will get itself! Then laptop is admittedly pretty old, my main interest is proof of concept – that the drives and the drive enclosures will work with windows because I'm building my super-midrange system and need windows for games and graphic apps and development and Linux because!
The Toshiba laptop is C55t-A5103. Pretty old! It can't be hardware upgraded. It does feature a 17" touch-screen and near full size keyboard. And raggedy old windows....
