Pavilion 15 4TU81EA
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I just installed Windows 10 on my new laptop on the 256 GB M.2 SSD and it works fine, but my 1TB HDD does not appear in the explorer. I installed all the drivers, from the HP driver site, and updated all the firmwares, but these doesn't helped me out.

Hello @bozskosamu 

 

Open the Disk Manager from the search bar. You should see the drive as unnallocated space. Right click on it and initialize the drive and give it a letter. Format it NTFS.

It will show up in Explorer then.

 

Scroll down to Method two to initialize the drive.
