I would use the command line utility DiskPart to see if the OS sees the SSD as present at the firmware level.

 

There is also  Windows Disk Manager.

 

What do you mean by "only thing that appears is the new hard drive"?

Did you open the laptop and replace the legacy hard disk?

 

Check in the Device Manager to find out which brand and part number the M.2 SSD is.

You can use the SSD's manufacturer's Diagnostics utility to see if the SSD is still useable. 

 

It was a tiny one, at 128GB.  I would just replace it with a 512GB NAND SATA3 M.2 SSD.
