strange. Lenovo should have your SSD drivers available. Whats your model number?

you mean "can't detect" right? Because there is no SSD in this picture

I believe he meant he has had Linux installed on that SSD (the one in the picture) for months and now decided to free up space and use (assumingly) the unallocated space to install Windows to while keeping the other 300GB partition for linux. I believe the picture was taken while booted from his HDD to prove the SSD is functional.

Strange that they dont provide the drivers. altho i believe normal IRST intel drivers should work fine (All you need are the .inf files). Or alternatively disable VMD driver in the Bios which should allow the installer to detect your SSD without drivers Then reenable it again. Disabling VMD essentially disables RAID and puts your drive in AHCI. The only thing i dont know is if this will mess with your Linux install so i cant really tell you to do that 100% with no worries. I'd try normal intel IRST drivers first

Lenovo absolutely provides the drivers

#

There's no question

#

If you can't find it, call or chat them.

They have them. It's not legal for them to not provide them in many jurisdictions now
