Windows doesn't find the SSD in an ASUS laptop. If there are no drivers available but the SSD shows up in BIOS. Any ideas on a fix?
Hi,
I have an ASUS F556U laptop. It stopped booting into Windows 10 and the BIOS screen comes up when powering up. I removed the Sandisk SSD (yuck) from the computer and installed a Samsung 860 500GB SSD (yea!). It now sees the drive in BIOS but not only does it not allow to select it for the primary boot drive but if I try to install Windows 10, it doesn't see any available drives. I don't see any available drivers on the ASUS website but I know that I didn't need to load up drivers in the past in order to load up Windows 10 initially. I've downloaded a BIOS update but I doubt that will help as it was working and then stopped working after a shutdown. I was thinking that I probably had a bad SATA port but when I see the drive detected in BIOS, it makes me think that the SATA port is okay. Has anyone had something similar to this happen? Thanks!

i'd like to have a look at advanced settings ( F7) and especially the boot priority settings
the Hard drive BBS priorities should be set to the SSD
