&gt;&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp;I think the Dell recognizes it. It see it in the M.2 slot. &nbsp; &lt;&lt;&nbsp; &nbsp;when ? &nbsp;post a picture to clarify<br />
check also if there are no bios updates for your system - that address this problem<br />
you can also contact Dell with your problem<br />
<br />
how old is your system ? &nbsp;maybe there were no drivers for it &nbsp;at that time<br />
fyi - i'm using one right now - and had to update the bios - and for windows 7 - install a driver
</div>


<div>
In the BIOS, do you see the hard disk? is it identified?<br />
if you see it in bios then your on the right track. download partition software (i recommend partition wizard free - bootable ISO) and create the partitions. then try re-image or fresh install.

<div>
The problem turned out to be in the BIOS. Dell sets the SATA type as Raid (and has for years) even with just a single SATA drive. To get both Windows and Acronis to recognize it I have to change it to AHCI. Leave it to Dell.
</div>


<div>
Yes. Windows recognizes it so I can install Windows and Acronis recognizes it so I just restored and image.

<div>
so if all is ok - don't forget to close this Q

I just got in a Samsung EVO 960 and put it in a new Dell Optiplex 3050. I started off trying to restore a Acronis image backup and Acronis did not recognize the EVO 960. Next I tried installing Windows 10 from a DVD and Windows 10 doesn't recognize it either. Is said to go to Samsungs web site and download the drivers but the driver there is not a &quot;F6&quot; driver.<br />

&nbsp; &nbsp;I think the Dell recognizes it. It see it in the M.2 slot. So what am I missing? Nothing recognizes it.....
