Hi, I´ve got an Hp 17t - by 400, this laptop has a nvme m2 slot, i already bought a Samsung 980 m2 500GB and installed on it, but my Bios doesn't recognized it, but the OS already recognized and with clonning programas i have problems, my OS partition is with HDD that my laptop has from factory, sorry for my awful english

Technically speaking, since the SSD is 500GB and your HDD (I believe) is 1TB, you can not actually "clone" the second to the first because "cloning" means to make an EXACT copy -- which you clearly can not do since the first disk is half the size of the second.  Folks say "cloning" all the time and nearly always, use the term incorrectly.

There are programs that will say "cloning" but what they actually do is copy partitions between devices and do resizing in the process, and because of that, they do not always work.

You said you installed on the SSD, but then you mention cloning -- so what really did you do to load Windows onto the SSD?

Please check & try to fix the below issue and hopefully your drive will be recognized:

1. Initialize your SSD in case if it is not initialized.
2. Assign a drive letter to your SSD.
3. Check if the SSD file system is supported by Windows or not.
4. Check if the SSD disk driver installed properly or not.

Moreover, below are few factors that can lead to SSD failure:

1. Malfunctioning of electronic components.
2. Bugs in SSD’s firmware.
3. Sudden loss of power supply during drive’s operation.
4. Controller chip going crazy.
5. Excessive bad blocks on the SSD.
6. Wearing of NAND cells with age.

Further, if you’re looking for best possible ways to clone or move your HDD data to SSD then I recommend you to check out this blog: https://www.stellarinfo.com/blog/how-to-migrate-windows-10-from-old-hdd-to-ssd/

Hope this will help.

the BIOS Booth options never detect the NVME,
