Hello,
I bought new Samsung 860 EVO 500 GB SSD. I can't see this drive in BIOS or Disk mgmt utility. Please let me know what BIOS setup do i need to have.
Also, I am unable to find latest BIOS at HP Driver link. How to get latest HP BIOS for my laptop and what option do i need to set to recognize new SSD drive that connected via USB.
I need to clone my HDD to SSD and replace my hard Drive.
Regards,
Aggie123

Hi:
The latest BIOS updates can be found on the W8.1 driver section. F.71
https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-elitebook-8570w-mobile-workstation/5257502
Since the BIOS updates were designed to run on W8.1, I don't know what will happen if you try to update the BIOS in W10.
I'm thinking that the notebook should have recognized the SSD immediately without any BIOS updates.
I have installed SSD's in HP business notebooks much older than yours and never had an issue, so unfortunately I wouldn't be able to help you with that.
I also clean installed W10 on every PC that I have even owned when installing a SSD.
I've never tried cloning the drives before. It is not something that I would ever consider doing.
