Here are the steps without any links:

  1. Check BIOS Settings:

    • Restart your laptop and press F2 to enter the BIOS setup.
    • Ensure that the boot mode is set to UEFI and not Legacy.
    • Verify that the SATA operation mode is set to AHCI and not RAID.

  2. Update BIOS:

    • Download the latest BIOS update from the Dell Support website and install it.

  3. Run Dell Diagnostics:

    • Restart your laptop and press F12 to enter the boot menu.
    • Select Diagnostics to run a full hardware diagnostic test.

  4. Reconnect SSD:

    • Power off your laptop, disconnect the SSD, and then reconnect it to ensure it is properly seated.

  5. Reset BIOS to Defaults:

    • Enter the BIOS setup by pressing F2 during startup.
    • Reset the BIOS settings to default.

  6. Check for Windows Updates:

    • Ensure that your Windows 11 installation is fully updated.

If these steps don’t resolve the issue, it might be helpful to contact Dell Support for further assistance.
