Hello, I've got my hands on pre-built someone threw away and wanted to tinker around and see if i can restore the PC. It originally had 1x4GB RAM stick and 1TB HDD which i changed as you can see in specs listed below.
I restored back-up bios (effectivelly set bios to default) and once checked peripherals to see if they are damaged i started clean win10 install.
Now to the issue i got:
I got bootable USB win10 install via MS MCT and plugged it in. Made sure to have only SSD and USB plugged in and started the install. First part has been successful (win setup is now installed on my ssd) but after first reboot bios can't see my SSD. I later tried doing the same with original 1TB HDD without any issues. Bios has both UEFI and Legacy support.
I followed up by looking for people with same issue and i actually found a lot of results that matched my case but most of them were abandoned without really solving the issue and leads were dead ends:
Exact same issue as me but no follow-up to last message's solution
Again windows install fails to recognize SSD but this time without any follow-up at all.
Simillar to my issue but the person who submitted closed the case by buying different hardware.
This one closes the case by sending me to now non-existent tutorial.
Most of Bios settings tutorials above suggested were already exhausted. The only ones left are SATA drivers which i thought were too far off from what might be my issue.
So does anyone have an idea what ever could i be doing wrong?

Edit: SSD is NVME with SATA3 adaptor and HDD is SATA2
