If you have Windows 10, right-click the start button, then choose Disk Management.

From there, right click on your device to create a partition with a drive letter. It should fairly straight forward. Let us know if you need any further help.

Thank you for the best answer vote.
You're up and running for now, however, I still have one more thing for you.

It's generally recommended to have your OS (Windows 10) installed on the faster drive (M.2).

If it is a PCI-based M.2 drive, having the OS installed on that versus a standard SSD, should make things feel quite a bit quicker.

It's kind of a process, but it might be worth your time to research that a little bit.
So, in summary, install Windows on the M.2, files and games on the SSD (or hard drive).

You may install a couple of key applications on the M.2 drive as well, just depends on the space available.
