I recently purchased a crucial PCIe 3.0 NVMe M.2 SSD and added it in my HP-14fq0022od laptop's empty M.2 slot. It's not being recognized in file explorer, disc management, or in the bios. In fact, the bios doesn't seem to have anything related to storage on this laptop. I also reseated though it appeared to be seated fine.
I am wondering if this type of SSD isn't compatible with my laptop. I used the SSD hardware identification on Crucial's website and it says guaranteed fitment of this SSD. However, when I searched this forum several other similar laptop posts showed that they had similar issues and the answers were saying their laptops weren't compatible. If I go to Crucial's website and search those laptop part numbers, it shows they are just like in my case.
Any thoughts?

Hi:
The problem is that in any of the 14-fq0xxx notebooks with the 64 GB eMMC drives, the M.2 slot only supports SATA SSD's, not NVMe.
This info is not mentioned in the service manual, but it is a fact.
There are several other forum members who reported this problem with NVMe SSD's not working.
You will have to return or exchange the NVMe SSD for a SATA one.
Crucial no longer makes SATA M.2 SSD's, so I recommend one of the Western Digital Blue SA510 M.2 SATA SSD's for your notebook, which will work just fine.
This is the 500 GB model for example:

Thank you, I was able to get a SATA m.2 SSD to work. I then cloned the old HDD to the new SSD using macrium reflect 8. However, there is no boot order option in the bios other than the old HDD. It doesn't even show the SSD despite the fact that the clone drive is available in explorer. I am still able to get into windows with the old HDD still set as the C drive.
Not sure what to do from here to get the new SSD setup as the boot drive if it's not available in the bios.

You're very welcome.
Normally if you format the 64 GB eMMC drive and use it for storage, the Windows boot manager will automatically switch to the 500 GB SSD.
