Just really confused

did the listing wherever you bought it say it's compatible with whatever Windows you're running? Your PC does not make the "usb connect" sound when you plug it in? is there some power indicator (led?) on it, and it comes on when plugged in? does the seller/manufacturer not provide post-sale support?

#

it says its compatible

#

no connect sound

#

power led is on

#

could just be a bad unit? you have another PC can try it on, or a friend?
I have a USB enclosure with a SATA Blu-ray burner in it and it works in both Win10/11 with no specific drivers other than whatever comes with Windows.

#

So it DOES make usb connect sound.
Does it appear in Device Manager? (Windows key and type "device manager")

Make sure after you reinstall Windows you get all the driver packages from your motherboards web site and install them too.

#

especially the latest AMD/Intel chipset drivers for whatever platform you're on.

#

i normally use avg driver updater top do all that im not that technical

#

having to uninstall all my c drive for enough space for the download lol

#

static laurel Nov 10, 2025, 6:56 PM

#

understood.
I never touch 3rd party driver updater apps, so can't help there.
it's typically not at all hard to look up your specific motherboard on their web site and grab the "latest" in each category and install them.

#

i get intel and asus updates through avg driver updater anyway

#

so i assume thats what it is

#
