The Windows setup isn't detecting your SSD.

I recently purchased a new PC and wanted to explore Linux, so I downloaded Pop-OS. It was enjoyable at first, but gaming wasn't smooth. I switched to Windows 10 instead. I flashed the OS onto a USB drive, but my SSD didn’t recognize it. I attempted to remove Pop-OS partitions on the SSD, but it still wasn’t detected. My Kingston KC3000 SSD isn’t showing up either. I tried downloading Windows directly from their website, but that didn’t work either. Could you help me resolve this?

Your mainboard model is likely required for installing the NVME driver.

It might be related to the file system format used for the drive. Since you're unfamiliar with PopOS, checking the supported formats could help clarify the problem.

You should still be able to view the drive regardless of the file system used, such as EXT4 or another.

Yes, you can install the Kingston SSD on Windows using a USB drive. Prepare the USB with the installation media, connect it to your computer, and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup.

Get the VMD driver from the provided link. Unpack it and place the Driver folder on your USB stick. If the installer doesn’t see a drive, select Load and point it there.
