I am replacing my sata hard drive with an ssd on an hp 590 desktop. I made a good image of the present drive.. so I want to remove that drive, use winpe to restore
the latest image to the new ssd drive. My HP only has one data port, so I have no way to partition or format the new drive. So its going in vanilla. My question is whether aomei winpe bootable media will even see the new ssd drive if it is without a partition or format. Both drives are 1 TB and the new one will be bootable. I have always restored to a disk where it is taken down during the restore but never tried it when the new drive in unpartitioned unformated and unallocated.

It will see the new SSD as unallocated. Just restore the backup image. Its been a while using Aomei. I use Macrium now.
You haven't filed up the winpe Aomei to take a look?

Usually, yes.

But if your new machine has 11/12/13/14 gen intel,

HP PCs - No drives can be found during Windows 11 or Windows 10 installation (Intel 11th Generation processors) | HP® Customer Support

No drives can be found because the Media Creation Tool does not provide the storage drivers. Follow these steps to create installation media, locate and install the missing storage drivers, and complete the Windows 11 or Windows 10 installation.
support.hp.com support.hp.com

which means installation media boot.wim or your aomeii bootable wim or any other bootable wim files wont be able to see the disks unless they have the drivers loaded.

Did you create you winpe using this method:

Create a Bootable Windows PE Disc/CD/DVD/USB with AOMEI PE Builder

AOMEI PE Builder is a software which enables you to create a bootable USB/CD based on Winddows PE.

I just tried it, and works great. I imaged my Windows in short order. The whole winpe is only 480mb.
