I have a 9 GB hard drive that I added to my HP ProDesk computer. My Windows 11 system will not let us move data to it.

    Connect that drive to your PC.

    1

    Right click your Start Button and open Disk Management.

    Expand the bottom pane in Disk Management so all drives are visible in that pane.

    Please provide a screenshot of that window.

    2

    Right click your Start Button and open Device Manager.

    Expand the Disk Drives section.

    Please provide a screenshot of that full Device Manager window.
