    I have just upgraded my main computer from Win 7 to Win 10 but I cannot see my second SSD drive in explorer the funny thing is that programs can see the drive and access it but I cant, I have gone into disk management and it is there, I have changed the drive letter as some sites advise but it still is not recognised, even Samsung magician can see the drive but I cannot see it in explorer only my main drive any help would be welcome

    Except that does not really make sense. Is the drive still there if you unplug the external drive?

    Well, that's good - though I cannot explain what happened. I can only guess it maybe had something to do with conflicting drive letters - as happens some times with removable drives.
