My elderly relative has an old HP ProBook 4530s laptop and I am upgrading the SSD in it.
I purchased a Crucial MX500 1TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5 Inch Internal SSD to put in it.
I followed these videos exactly on how to install it:

However, it is not detected by the machine. I've put the old HDD back and that works, so I know I've not broken anything.
Any ideas about how I can troubleshoot it? When I try to install Windows it talks about drivers for the disk drive, but I've searched online and can't find anything.
I am installing the 32 bit version of Windows 10. (It has to be the 32 bit version, as my relative uses old software which won't work on 64 bit windows). I am doing it as a clean installation from a USB drive (i.e. I am not installing a cloned drive).
When I use the Windows installer USB, no drive is displayed, so I don’t have the option of formatting.
Thanks in advance for any help.
