    it's worth noting it might also pop-up a message to "initialize disk" and a choice of MBR or GPT. Unless you have a special legacy system, you'll definitely want to select GPT. From there, follow the video.

    For those who have encountered the same problem as me. I thought my m2 was broken, bought a new one but it wasn't recognized by the diskmanager BUT it was shown in my BIOS. Fix was go to Device Manager and look for your Storage Controller. IF you find AMD RAID Bottom there, deinstall this driver so the Windows driver reinstalls. This fixed my problem! Hope this helps other unlucky people the many hours it took me to figure that treasure out! :)

    heh, up and running in no time. So I went through the experience recently buying a second SSD drive. My first one had a split partitioning, 500GB for the boot drive and the rest for applications. After getting the second drive (which was easy to set up doing exactly this), I wanted to restructure the partitions on the first drive, 50/50 split.
    After moving some apps from the old drive to the new one, I shrunk the old drive's Apps partition down to 1TB. Went to expand the boot partition up to 1TB, except there wasn't that option. Because the unallocated space on the drive had the Apps partition between it and the boot partition. In order to expand a partition, the unallocated space has to be connected to it.
    There's a few third party programs that allow you to move partitions around in the physical space of the drive. So if you need to do this, they are easy to find with a simple google search, and you can get it done with free options. Don't pay for it. Definitely something that ought to be included with Disk Management already.

    You can also select multiple drives and put them in the Dynamic Striped layout so you can have multiple smaller drives acting as one big unified drive. This acts more like a basic RAID 0 setup so be aware that if data loss occurs on one drive, you might not be able to recover the data from all of them.

    I did it with a Samsung 980 in a Sabeant enclosure connected to a USB-C 10 gbs port and 6 out of 6 times it got hot and the laptop went BLUE SCREEN belly-up. Bought a new Samsung 980 and for 2 times it did the same thing connected the Enclosure to a 5 gbs usb 2.0 port and it stayed cool as a cucumber. Now I have a separate m.2 1TB in the Sabeant on the 10 gbs port. No problems running DAVINCI clips from it at 10gbs. Actually I ran 2 years with Premiere and Davinci off a 72000 rpm HDD that came in the machine no slow downs.
