Solved: System will not assign a drive letter to new ssd - HP Support Community

Sam1950 · ‎02-14-2018

Just added a Samsung 860 EVO 500 GB SSD. Left the original HDD as the boot drive. System boots fine, but does NOT assign a drive letter to the SSD. Task manager identifies Disk 1 correctly as the Samsung SSD 860 EVO 500GB, but no drive letter. How do I get a drive letter to be assigned?

Hi,

Normally you have to give a drive letter for it. Can you see it in File Explorer ?
