Follow windows installation prompts in windows setup

4T HD is not listed or recognized (not in Bio)

What is the full model number or product number of your notebook?

Notebooks with Intel 11th > 13th gen core processors need to have certain Intel storage controller drivers installed at the stage of the setup screen you are at.

If you don't have a notebook with one of those processors, I would not know what the problem could be.

OK, so you do have a PC that needs to have the Intel storage controller drivers installed in order for Windows to find the drive.

I have zipped up and attached the Intel storage controller drivers you need, below.

Unzip and copy all of the files in the folder in the attachment to a USB flash drive.

Have the flash drive and your Windows installation media plugged into USB ports.

Boot from the Windows installation flash drive.

When you get to the screen where no drives can be found, click on the Load driver option, browse to the flash drive with the storage controller drivers on it.

If you check the box, it will only include the compatible driver.

If Windows still can't find the drive, uncheck the box to include the compatible driver and try any of the ones listed.

Awesomeeee!!!

SSD HD detected and windows installed

new issue, w10 was installed instead on w11

i have a system image copy that I want to install as it has all my useful data 

how do I go about it?

Unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to help you with that. 

I imagine if it is a system imagine of the entire drive, it will wipe out what you installed and install the old configuration leaving you with a lot of empty space on the 4 TB drive. 

You should have bought a USB-C to NVMe adapter and used cloning software to clone the smaller drive's contents to the 4 TB drive.
