I have tried two different m.2 drives but neither seems to be able to be seen by win10 or bios. Are there any configuration changes that I need to make in bios? ASRock support claimed no, but I have no luck. Trying to install Win10 on M.2 drive (or even see it booting from SATA drive). USB Win10 is UEFI, FAT32 for installation.
I tried both Intel 750 SSD (2.5" , NMVE, with Asus Hyperkit) and another M.2 drive (Toshiba) and neither one was seen.
Anything in CMS settings?
Bios is at rev 2.50 which is latest. Win 10 should support natively the Intel drive.

No other graphics cards are installed. I even tried without the SATA drive and just had the M.2 drive in the system.

CSM is enabled
Launch PXE OpRom policy "legacy only"
Launch storage OpRom Policy "legacy"
Launch video oprom policy "legacy"


Secure boot is disabled

Advanced->Storage configuration
M2_2/Sata3_4, sata3_5 is auto
asmedia sata3 mode is AHCI

I am using the ASUS Hyperkit that came with the Intel 750 2.5" SSD NVME card, (again, also tried another M.2 drive that I know worked and same results)

Actual issue ended up being the Asus Hyperkit that came with the drive. This did not work with ASRock motherboard. Purchased ASRock version from Newegg and worked perfectly.
