SSD
I purchased the "KingSpec M.2 2280 2TB SSD NGFF M.2 SATA III 6Gb/s Internal Solid State Drive Hard Disk Data Storage for PC Desktop Laptop Ultrabook 3D NAND SATA III Without Heatsink". I installed it and I am unsure if I bought the correct SSD or if it was DOA.
I installed it and attempted to set it up through Computer Management/Disk Management but it didn't show up there. I attempted to re-seat it in the motherboard two more times to no avail. I restarted my computer to get into BIOS and my BIOS does not recognize the SSD.
I'm new to computer terms and I'm not sure what other relevant computer information to add, but this is the link to the computer I bought.
Also if anyone has recommendations on an SSD to get that is less than $250 with the most bang for my buck in terms of storage, I would appreciate it.

Laptop screen and keyboard don’t turn on, but fans and power button LED do
I already reseated the ram, tried different stick combinations, checked cables, and a power cycle and used an external monitor. Results are always the same. What else can I try?

Trouble getting Windows onto HP Prebuilt
I used to use an HP Omen 25L as my main computer, but I recently built a new one. I am trying to give this prebuilt to my girlfriend, but its fighting me tooth and nail. I put a new 256gb ssd into it in hopes of using that as the new boot drive, but after getting a windows 11 install onto a flashdrive and booting into that drive, the installation media doesnt see the ssd or other drives that are installed. I hate Chat GPT, but unfortunately, I caved and tried asking it for assistance. It keeps leading me in circles to download Intel RST drivers that I cannot gain access to. I don't really feel like that is the issue. I can see the drives in the BIOs in a section about RST, but I can't change anything about them like disabling RST or VMD temporarily (The BIOs for these prebuilts is genuinely awful). I've tried all the usb ports, I've tried both M.2 slots, I've tried recreating the installation media. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

DHCP ERROR - Unknown Network
I'm just putting this out there cause it caused me some grief today.
*Network Setup:
Cable Modem + Wi-Fi Router + 2 Unmanaged Network Switches + 2 PCs + 1 Laptop - all Hard Wired.
Today, all our kit was momentarily relocated. When putting it all back together, my PC with the (Middle) Switch would not connect via NIC. But it would connect Wirelessly without issue. Network troubleshooter could not fix it and gave me a DHCP ERROR / Unknown Network.
I switched Wires/Ports/Uninstalled/Reinstalled/Reset/done all the things... Nothing worked.
So I had my bro open up his Laptop, connected to his (End) Switch, to see if he had the same Issue, and it was fine.
The Cable Management around his Desk was a Mess and I still had his PC to setup... So that I did, and managed the mess of Wires while I was at it.
When I finished up I mentioned what my PC was doing and he says: Maybe it's one of my Wires (attached to his Switch) and I was like, it shouldn't matter.
My Switch is first link in the chain after all...
Well... Turns out he was right! My PC was back online and everything else was still fine too.
It took me a minute to sort it out, but nearest I can tell. When we were putting things back together, he got all his stuff setup first, before I'd even plugged my stuff in. And since my Switch (in the Middle) was powered on Last. My bros Switch took priority.
And then when I was untangling his messy Cable situation. My Switch took over and gave me my Internet back.
