Product: HP ENVY TouchSmart m7-j078ca Notebook PC
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
Hello, I recently added a new SSD drive to my laptop (HP ENVY TouchSmart 17") but the drive is not detected in the BIOS and doesn't show up in the Disk Manager or in the File Explorer.
The cable seems to be working fine as I tried it on the regular (main drive) and it works fine for it,
I cannot do anything to enable the drive in the BIOS as I don't seem to have access to any advanced options (locked or non-existent on my laptop).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
