Product: HP Envy 17t
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi

 

I have an HP Envy 17t laptop with the following storage configuration:

  • 1 TB 7200 rpm SATA; 16 GB PCIe® NVMe™ Intel® Optane

Recently the hard drive has started causing issues (got it to work finally but there are ~800 reallocated sectors). I thought I would replace the hard drive just to be safe.

 

I want to replace the 1TB hard drive for storage and swap out the Intel Optane drive for a NVMe SSD for boot. I already decoupled the optane drive from the storage drive. Judging by most comments on this forum, I should be able to do the swap and clone the OS to the SSD.

 

However, I still cant see the SSD in any of my disk management software (windows or linux live disk). Will I still be able to do the swap? Are there any additional steps needed to designate it as a storage/boot drive instead of just an acceleration drive?

 

I wanted to get some idea of success rate first as returns in India are nearly impossible.
