I installed new Crucial 256 M2 SSD and BIOS has showed me that SSD has been installed. However, in settings and storage I see only HDD but not SSD. Before I can clone HDD SSD need to be initialized, and I wonder how to do it.

    Hi,
    Go to Disk management, right click Windows logo in taskbar(far left), in Disk management, right click the SSD, create a new simple volume and give a drive letter.

    Right-click the hard drive or SSD you want to initialize, and then click "Initialize Disk".
    In the Initialize Disk dialog box, select the disk(s) to initialize. You can select whether to use the master boot record (MBR) or GUID partition table (GPT) partition style.
    If this method does not work, you can turn to third party software to initialize disk.
