Installed 2.5 SSD not showing up in Windows

Post by Heiko_78 »

I installed a new SSD in my AK1 yesterday but when starting Windows I can't see it anywhere in the Explorer. No new D: drive or anything else.
Are there any other changes required e.g. in BIOS?

Thank you for the quick reply. I checked the disk management but the SSD is not even shown here.
How is the SSD dock connected to the computer? Does it require a driver?
