Model: Adapter  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Windows 10 PC won't recognise my TL-WDN4800 PCI Express adapter, Says I need to connect the apdapter in order to continue. It's in the PCIe 1 slot. I've a NVMe M.2 SSD, Asus Z97-A ATX LGA1150 motherboard. 
I've downloaded the up to date driver on the TP link website but thats where the message saying connect the adapter appears. 

The adapter is not showing up in the device manager menu and also in the BIOS settings I've the Onboard Devices Configuration -> PCI Express Slot and M.2 Bandwidth setting set to M.2 mode would this setting have any impact on the PCI Express slot also?

@Kathy_Z 
Thanks for replying 


I've tried the other PCIe slot but that didn't work, it previously but I can't remember what change or configuration caused it to stop working. Unfortunatly I don't have another PC I could try it on. I've had the adapter for roughly 3-4 years I think but I can't say for definte.
