    >Swap your existing card with another that is known to work. This is to rule out the memory card that is not being detected.

    >An out of date or corrupt memory card reader driver, also known as a Chipset Driver, can cause it too not detect the memory cards.

    >Look in device manager under disk drives your reader(s) should appear there, click on the little box +- they should appear. If there is a yellow asterisk or question mark showing, there is an issue. There should be an option to update driver, you could give that a try. It could be several things but that is the easiest thing to check first.

    >Plug in the SD card and run the hardware troubleshooter. Once this is done, restart the computer and check the status.
    Press the ‘Windows + W’ key on the keyboard.
    Type troubleshooting in the search box and then press Enter.
    Click hardware and sound and run the Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter.
    Follow the On screen instructions. Once this is done, restart the computer and check the status.

    Here's the weblink with driver for your model:
