Hi, I have inserted a 2TB PCIe Gen 3x4 M.2 2280 SSD into the free slot of my NUCi7HVB-vers. J68196-602.
I see it's included in the Intel Support Assistant detailed report but I don't see it configured as a disk in the PC to use it.
What can I do to activate it?
Thanks to those who can help

I suggest that you buy memory modules from the list of products Validated by Intel for your NUC (NUC8i7HVK).
This is a link to Kingston validated memory
Finally, link to Crucial validated memory.
