HP Recommended
Product: HP ENVY - 17m-ae111dx
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

 I am thinking HP community to upgrade the memory to 32GB of RAM.  I have received advice about upgrade for 256 GB SSD to 500 GB.   The advice was to buy Samsung SDD980.  I was going to clone the 256GB.  I bought an enclosure for the new one.  Input and plug in to USB. The laptop cannot see it.

 

Please advise.
