Hello dear community at Tom's Hardware.
This is my first time posting on the forums, therefore I am a little bit nervous, however, I have heard a great deal about this website from my friends so I am sure that I will be able to get this issue of mine fixed.
Let me give you my specs first:
Intel i5 7500
Gtx 1070 seahawk X
H110m-C motherboard
2 sticks of ddr4 2133 mhz Ripjsaw memory
Evga 750w platinum psu
Barracuda 1TB hdd
Kingston 240gb sad.
With this out of the way, I am experiencing trouble with my ssd, more specifically : The bios and Windows 10 installer are both refusing to find the SSD partition, despite windows 10 already being installed on SSD.
This issue started today after I changed and am3+ socket motherboard and and fx 8370e processor to Intel's h110m-c and Intel i5 7500. I do understand that Windows needs to be reinstalled from other forum threads, however I am simply not given the option to format and reinstall windows on ssd. ..
Any help you can provide will be appreciated. Please let me know if you need some more details or information.

Cheers!
-George

Never mind, I have figured out the reason behind this. Turns out that the SSD power cable was not plugged in. Once that was done, the windows booted like a candy and is reinstalling drivers :)
