So. I got a problem that windows won’t boot anymore. Idk why. It happened random.
The boot failed as well when I tried from BIOS boot. So I Boot Linux and got access to the SSD disk. Then I wanted to run media creation tool from my external HDD drive to reinstall Windows. Now the tool won’t detect my SSD drive but the HDD external drive. What to do?

HPLaptop 14s-dq2xxx
RAM: 8Gb
Processor: Intel i7 11th gen, 2.8Ghz x 8
Graphics: Intel Iris Xe
SSD Disk: Samsung 512Gb
External: Apple HDD 1Tb (formatted)
Linux: PopOs

#

No there’s no helping in internet

#

And yes I try to delete everything about windows and also the boot option and then reinstall but the windows boot still got displayed and it boot for some reason the Linux

#

So /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft is deleted

Everything I did is, run the WMC tool on HDD drive

It was bootable

Cuz I booted in bios

But the windows setup won’t detect the internal SSD

You may need to download the Samsung NVMe driver from https://semiconductor.samsung.com/us/consumer-storage/support/tools/#, extract it, and place it onto the Windows 10 install USB that you created with the Media Creation Tool. Then when the installer says it cannot see the M.2 drive, select the "Load Driver" option, navigate to wherever you placed the extracted NVMe drivers on the USB flash drive, load them, and continue with the installation.
