PCIe SSD Offline

[Andrew2468]

See i have recently changed my hardrive due overheating of the laptop, so i gave it for repair and installed new barracuda harddrive of 1TB and unfortunately after the updates of windows 10 and all its other updates i had installed software and drivers from the HP website..so i didnt know the previous version of Intelr rapid storage technology and also i had installed intel software and  driver update detector.

Then i just installed Intelr rapid storage technology of 1809 were the other version 1909 didnt work,after installing it was saying my PCIe SSD is offline.

1-So my question is will clearing metadata will bring it back online?

2-Or should i non-optane it from the BIOS,but since i have windows installed on my Barracuda hard drive will it wipe everything in this hard drive too?

3-Or should i just disconnect my barracuda hardrive and then on the laptop head to BIOS setting then non optane it from the UEFi configuration?

4-Whats the data that is stored in an PCIe SSD?

i am urgently awaiting for an reply.
