hp 17-bs061st
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi! I have an HP 17-bs061st & just received my new SSD & I'm trying to install it but it's not showing up!

 

It's a Samsung (MZ-V7E500BW) 970 EVO SSD 500GB - M.2 NVMe Interface Internal Solid State Drive with V-NAND Technology

 

Can anyone help?

 

Thanks!

Hi:

 

Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.

 

HP 17 Laptop PCHP 17g Laptop PCHP 17q Laptop PC Maintenance and Service Guide

 

Chapter 1, page 3 has the supported drive types.

 

The reason the NVMe drive you installed isn't showing up is because your notebook's M.2 slot only supports SATA SSD's, not NVMe.

 

There is no fix other than to return/exchange the NVMe drive for a SATA one.
