  Ok here was my solution: Use a different brand PC to format the drive.   The normal non-powered enclosure was useable and plugged into an HP laptop without issue.  The NVMe was recognized and I was able to reformat it.  Once I did this my Dell 7577 still did NOT recognize the drive but Macrium Reflect software did.     I started to clone the drive, then cancelled at 2% as a test, and as predicted the Dell 7577 could now see the empty NVMe but only after Macrium Reflect accessed the drive.  What the h ell Dell?   Cloning went smoothly, I was able to clone the NVMe, install it and boot as if it were stock from Dell.   As an additional note I tested a WD-Black 5TB HDD and sure enough the 7577 doesn't see it.  I plug into the HP, and it can see it.  Once I reformat on the HP I can then attempt a clone(cancelling once the percentage bar starts) using Macrium Reflect on the Dell 7577 and the drive is now recognized by the 7577.   Unfortunately the only way I know now to use an external drive in my Dell is to use it on an HP first.
    I am attempting to clone then replace my Crucial brand M.2 SATA that has my OS and associated files with a Hynix brand NVMe SSD.  I have the Hynix NVMe in a compatible enclosure than can read the 2280 drivers with a USB and USB-C connection.  No connection cable or port allows the new NVMe drive to be recognized by Windows.   I am only using the Hynix because I got a much better deal than the Crucial SSD, with equal capacity that shows to be compatible with the 7577: Crucial P5 Plus 2TB PCIe M.2 2280SS Gen4 SK Hynix platinum P41 2TB PCIe NVMe M.2 2280 Gen4      I was informed the 7577 can't read "Gen4" NVMe, but I am sure this is not accurate since Crucial has always been accurate in their compatibility information for me.  My primary goal is to avoid a complete re-install and instead just clone using Macrium Reflect and replace the older SSD, but unfortunately I can not access or format the new Hynix NVMe to do either process because my 7577 won't recognize it.   I have no idea if I am in RAID or AHCi, but I assume RAID since I am sure it's in default Dell mode.  Does RAID or AHCi impact the ability to read a new NVMe drive in an enclosure?   Any ideas?
