Hi
I dont know what OS you have, so .....
the usual cause is missing SATA controller drivers for the motherboard rather than the SSD itself. In that case, you would need to download the SATA controller driver from your motherboard or system manufacturer. This situation can arise especially with older Windows versions or certain RAID configurations, but for most modern Windows installs and setups, no extra SSD driver is needed.

Hi
Installed?
As a standalone bootable SSD? As an additional SSD to the W10 installation?
Has it been formatted? Just need a more of the finer details.
