Windows 10: Drive storage not found, can't locate driver on usb Windows 10/11

Hello, I recently tried to revert my laptop HP Pavilion 15-eg0073cl SN#: SCD120BZTQ back to Windows 10 as I did not approve the auto update, a process I have done multiple times since Windows 11 came out. This time, it got stuck in a Bitlocker/Auto recovery loop that I am unable to escape out of. Steps I have taken to try and fresh install Windows 10 or 11, it does not matter to me anymore as long as I can get my laptop working:- Disabled bitlocker- Enabled UEFI usb boot mode from BIOS- Downloaded Windows 10 fresh install onto 8gb usb stick did the same with Windows 11, neither has worked,

hard drive full, but can<t find the item to erase

Windows 10 has the option to change the storage location. We suggest that you change the storage location so you can still use your hard drive instead of using the SSD. Kindly follow the steps below on how to change the storage location:

• On the Search bar, type in storage and select the top most result.
• On the Storage screen, change the location of each options to your desired hard drive. The files will now be saved on the specific hard drive.

Hi George,



Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand your concern and will assist you to resolve this issue.

• 
  Did you make any changes in BIOS?
  
• 
  Are you getting any error message?
  

I suggest you to update Storage controller drivers and check if it helps.

Steps 1:

• 
  Press Windows key + X.
  
• 
  Select Device manager.
  
• 
  Expand Storage controller.
  
• 
  Right click on the driver and Update the drivers.
  

Steps 2: Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with hardware and devices. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue
is with device. Refer these steps:

• 
  Press Windows key +X, select Control panel.
  
• 
  Change the view by option on the top right to Large icons.
  
• 
  Click on troubleshooting and click on the view all option on the left panel.

  Run the Hardware and devices troubleshooter.
