Hey all,

I recently installed a new SSD in my wife's Lenovo Ideapad 710s. here is the part number for the SSD I installed: MZHPV128HDGM-00000. The SSD shows up in the BIOS, but does not show up during Windows 10 install. I get the following message "We couldn't find any drives. To get a storage driver, click Load dirver." I have tried several different drivers, but none of them have worked.
The computer is not bootable, but I used the repair function on the windows usb to run diskpart, and the drive did not show up in list disk (the only drive that did was the windows installation USB drive)

Can anyone save me?

Get all of the drivers for the laptop. That's a nvme drive they aren't fully plug and play on "older" hardware so you'll need the driver to make it recognize the SSD is in the m2 slot. I'm not 100% sure what they'll call it but I'd just dump every driver for the laptop on the USB and fling em all at it.

I just tried using all the drivers on Lenovo's website for this model. I am using 7-zip to extract the .exe files onto the usb (the screen won't recognize any .exe files) and it still tells me that there are no signed device drivers on the drive.

Could it be a driver issue that is keeping the drive from showing up in diskpart as well?

Yes if the computer doesn't know how to use the drive it can't use it. Just recognizing it in bios isn't the same thing as being "useable" I've never tried what you're doing specifically but I have seen people having issues doing it before
