Win 10 Storage Spaces

Hello, so I had set up a storage pool on windows 10 using 3 2TB drives. It has been a year later, and my main drive had failed. I proceeded to get a new SSD, and install windows 10. Installation process went smoothly, until I went to my storage devices. I can see the local disk F, and also the local disk C. But when I try to open F it asked me to format the disk. Now that is not an option as this disk was my back up. So then I go to storage spaces. In storage spaces I see the vault pool that I had set up with the capacities of 482 GB of 5.45 TB pool capacity. I can even see the physical drives and the storage space, you can see 8.67% used on each drive physically and there is an OK green checkmark next to all the drives. However I cannot access the information on these drives. 
 

has anyone else experienced this as well?

is the "F" drive actually the storage spaces?

Check Disk Management and make sure its not like some boot partition on your SSD or some partition you may have on your installation USB (if thats still plugged in)

Normally when you move a Storage Spaces pool between systems it leaves the pool in a disabled state and you have to enable it. Best thing to do is pull up the Storage Spaces PowerShell command references and look at the health of the pool, it's status and virtual disk information.
