I have an Optiplex 7090 Micro with one M.2 (512gb) and want to add another M.2 (1TB) but I'm having a problem getting the PC to see the second M.2. I know the M.2 works and I'm sure I got it seated correctly but Disk Management does not see that it's present.
If I understand you correctly your micro came with an M.2 2230 512 gb ssd. You are trying to install a 2nd M.2 2280 ssd. If you enter bios, what do you see under storage>M.2 PCIe ssd-0? How many ssd are detected by bios?
Thanks, given what's in the next response I think I'll just use an external enclosure for the 1tb M.2. I already have the enclosure and the M.2 works just fine with it when plug into the 7090.

Non Dell Hardware requires Secure Boot OFF.
PCI-E M2 drives require F2 bios sata operation to be set to AHCI
The samsung units also have their own NON NATIVE TO WINDOWS Driver.
