Windows 11 doesn’t recognize an m.2 NVMe in a pcie slot after upgrade
Hey all, Bought a new HP Omen 30L-1139 it has expansion slots for upto 3 m.2 SSDs. I swapped out the 2 SSDs from my old computer to the new one and everything worked as it should. I had this work...
Looking for some help on similar issue. I have an HP Slim Desktop with 512GB m,2 primary drive and 1TB secondary HDD. I am unable to add a 4TB Crucial m.2 NVMe via PCIe or using a USB adapter on Windows 11 home edition. It shows up in the disk mgmt dashboard as unknown and when I try to initialize it, it fails to initialize it with a fatal error msg. I have tried 3 brand new Crucial m.2 NVMe drives (all 4TB) and they all fail to work on the system. Any insights on how to resolve this would be very much appreciated. HP is unable to provide meaningful assistance.
- Have a look at your motherboard manual or Google search the capacity of SSDs on it. Some will only allow upto 2GIG SSDs.
Thank you very much for your response to my email. I will look into it. In the meanwhile, I have a 8 TB SATA Seagate external USB drive that works just fine on this system for my backup however the internal 4TB m.2 NVMe is the one that seems to have some issues even using a USB enclosure. Would they behave differently between m.2 vs SATA/USB? Thanks again for your response.

- They very well could; However, I have no idea. That info should be with the MB documents. The other thing to try is the MB manufacturer forums or trouble shooting. I wish I could offer you more,advice, I’m simply an end user and virtually had to send back the computer to HP for a full refund. I built my own and haven’t had an issue since.
