[SOLVED] Spatium M480 1TB and WD-2TB

[SheeshReese]

So I recently bought an SSD and a hard drive for my gaming PC.

1.I plug my hard drive into PC and go to look for on under drives but PC doesn’t even recognize that it’s in I’ve rescanned for devices and also unplugged and replugged for different cables that fit, PC doesn’t recognize it.

2. when I install new SSD and reboot PC it takes me to the gigabyte screen I’ve installed Windows 11 on hard drive but when that screen comes up and I install it says system requirements are not met without thumb drive and I save and exit from gigabyte screen PC takes me back to gigabyte screen.

Main Goal: ADD note storage to PC weather it 1 or 3 TB.

thanks in advance.

Are you looking to install windows fresh or clone it from the existing drive to the new SSD?

Which will be easier I’ve tried install come a thumb drive to new Ssd I haven’t tried cloning yet.

Sorry for the delay, I've actually been in the hospital...

Anyways, Win11 requires a Trusted Platform Module (TPM 2.0) to be install. Just use Win10 if you don't have one or its not built into the motherboard.
Click the Download Tool on this page and it will format & setup yor flashdrive: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

If you aren't sure if it's built into the motherboard, then let us know which one you have or you can run the Health Check app they put out.
The link to download it is near the bottom of this page: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-11
