Windows 11 Reformat SSD

[Broken_Woodstock]

For some reason my SSD wouldn't format during the Windows 11 install but my HDD did so I got it on there. I came from Linux as it was all I could get to work after my build. However, now that I am in windows, the SSD is still not formatted as ntfs so it isn't recognized. I haven't been able to think of a way to format it so I was wondering if anyone would know how? Thanks!

Can you format the drive in disk management in windows?

Id really try to reinstall again  with the instller, and fix that isue, you don't need to format a ssd before using the installer

Did you install Windows on your HDD? I would highly recommend reinstalling it to the SSD.

If you're having trouble installing windows to a specific drive:

 

1) Unplug any other drives from the system during install

 

2) Do a custom windows install

 

3) delete all partitions on the drive

 

4) Click "Next" and windows will create any needed partitions on that drive.
