Hi. I have a 250gb SSD drive with windows installed on it. It is currently the only drive that shows up in my file explorer. I also have a 1TB HDD that I can see is connected from the BIOS but is not appearing in the file explorer. How can I access it to download games onto it?

Navigate to Disk Management in Windows and right click on the 1TB HDD and format it and assign it a drive letter.

In Windows 10, Disk Management can be easily accessed by *right-clicking* on the Start Button.
