I have a macbook air 1466, i wanted to upgrade the memory with a samsung m2 nvme 512gb. I bought an adapter to connect the ssd. I mounted the ssd, I powered it on in recovery mode to install the macos, and I noticed that the ssd is not recognized at all. I checked in disk utility too. I reconnected the ssd twice and nothing. Any advices? thanks
Is this a good question?

Any new disk that you buy, you have to initialize it, use a pendrive with ubuntu and format it from there so that it recognizes the machine, it has worked for me many times. Good luck and greetings.

The issue is the version of macOS the recovery is trying to install as well as the systems firmware level if you where running Sierra or older.
So… the easiest way is to prep up a 32GB USB thumb drive using the recovery service, then upgrading it to Mojave or newer via the Apple Store, then just run disk Utility from the thumb drive you should see it at that point both the version of macOS will be the correct version and the systems firmware will have been upgraded.
