I bought a new laptop HP - PAV X360 14-DW1013TU yesterday and after window update laptop was restarting again and again and I thought to install Win10 from usb.
I booted up system from USB with win10 and opened command prompt with shift+F10
I typed diskpart, list disk and selected the SSD.
I performed following commands:
clean
create partition primary
active
format quick fs=ntfs
exit
exit
Then I couldn’t see the disk or any drive in windows 10 installation .
i came back to command prompt again and typed diskpart
list disk
i can only see usb disk
when i went to BIOS i can see SSD inside non.RAID DEVICE
Please help. How i can get ssd back to diskpart listing or windows 10 installation area.

I reviewed your post and I understand that the hard drive is not listed when trying to install the operating system.
Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.
I recommend you follow the steps in the below article and restore BIOS defaults and check whether the hard drive is listed.

If you continue facing the issue, then follow the steps in the below article and perform a recovery on the computer.

Mate, I have already had 2-3 days conversation with HP Support agent in WhatsApp and they are not able to fix after following many procedures.
You have not read my question properly. The SSD is formated with clean command from diskpart. Why are you talking about recovery? The F11 does not work here.
The only issue here is that the SDD which is of NVMe type is not listed either in diskpart or installation environment of Windows PE or Win10 CMD.
If that makes sense to you, then only reply.

Please open the article and check, I am not talking about the F11 recovery, I am talking about cloud recovery.
Thanks!
