I have installed a new Windows 10 for my new build and have installed all my old SSDs on it as well. The OS recognizes all my old SSDs acept for the one with the old Windows 10 on it. It only sees a few MB. How can begin to read all the data on the old SSD with old windows on it?

Hi there Alyus,

You need to go to Disk Management and see how the drive appears over there.
You may need to use some data/partition recovery tool. Once you've recovered the data, you can reformat the drive.

Cheers,

I see them all now. I recognize all drives. It threw me off because there is a partition for a few MB.
