Hard Drive Not Showing Up

[JordanTrace]

So I just got my new pc put together (by Micro Center) and checking things, I dont see my hard drive under "this pc". I see my ssd but not the hard drive. I see the hard drive in devices and printers. How do I set it to storage/actually be able to use it?

Has the drive been formatted?

In the search bar next to the Start button, type "disk" and one option that comes up should be "create and format hard disk". Click on that and see if your drive shows up (you may need to scroll the lower box to see everything). If it is listed, right click on it and it will walk you through initiating the drive. If it is only for storage, leave all of the defaults. Once you do this, the drive will become available and show up in File Explorer and be ready to save files in it
