Question Install an M2 SSD in a Optiplex 5070

[SDTEW]

I have an Dell Optiplex 5070 SFF Computer and I would like to install a 1TB M2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD in it. The SSD shows in the BIOS. But when I try to use the Dell recovery Disk to Reset the disk and repartition it, The error message reads: "Unable to reset your PC. The system drive cannot be found". Any advice would be appreciated, Thanks in Advance!

90% of the time those recovery disks are created using a certain set of hardware/software specifics that's built into the image itself. I worked for DELL years ago when they first introduced those things. You can typically only use the recovery disk with the original hardware.

Do I need to install Windows 10 from a different source?
