My SSD isn't detected in Windows 10, but it is in the BIOS.

Win 10 x64. My BIOS detects it like nothing is wrong. It isn't seen in disk management either which seems to be the go-to solution on the internet. I went into the BIOS and it said Hard Disk Drive so I changed it to Solid State Drive and that didn't do anything either. It's an old ass SSD that my friend just had laying idle in his PC case for years since he didn't know what it was, but it worked just fine in my other Windows 7 PC, so I formatted it without any problems so it should be perfectly fine I think. This is just really weird lol im probably just stupid

Go to Device manager > Disk Drives > that SSD > Volumes > Populate. Anything showing up ?

Wow thanks for completely ignoring that I said "It isn't seen in disk management". The issue was I needed to run the windows memory diagnostic

 

[CountMike]

I didn't ignore anything, It's you that misread or ignored what I wrote, not DISK management, but in DEVICE MANAGER, Those are not same place. Both are available from right click menu on Start button.

check that if you have a new intel or amd mb the device is not on 3 party sata chipset port. also check to see if m2 slot is on or off. if it on some sata ports wont work.
