    I recently have gotten my gt83 and after deciding to keep it I want to move my OS installation off of the intel nvme raid and onto an SSD that I swapped the mechanical HDD out for. However the issue I am encountering is I cannot select the ssd as a boot drive nor does the NVME show up in the windows installer.

    I have tried googling the issue however all that returns are guides on how to select to boot from usb.

    press Shift+F10 and a DOS window should open

    type the following: diskpart
    [hit ENTER key]
    type the following: list disk
    [hit ENTER]
    type the following: sel disk # (# being the disk number for your new drives)
    [hit ENTER]
    type the following: clean
    [hit ENTER]

    close the DOS window

    Do this for any drives which you cannot boot to.
