Can you show us a pic of the Windows install routine where it is showing you nothing to install to.

What specific drive(s) are involved here?

Some of possible reasons for storage drive not being detected:

M.2 drive installed and it has disabled some sata ports;​

M.2 drive installed in M.2 slot, that doesn't support this particular type of M.2 drives (SATA vs NVME);​

storage drive defective or improperly installed/connected;​

modular PSU has been used with wrong modular cables. This can result in death of connected sata storage devices;​

inappropriate bios settings are being used;​

storage controller drivers need to be loaded before windows install.​

The windows installer looks for a drive with a gpt identifier and all of the remaining space unallocated. Try booting with gparted and preparing your disks that way; it always works for me.
