Hello,
  • I have made a Windows 10 boot drive on my Sandisk USB and formatted my M.2 NVMe PCIE SSD.
  • I then go to settings, Update & Security, Recovery then Advanced start up.
  • I select in the menu to use my Sandisk UEFI to custom install Windows 10 to my Drive 2 (My M.2 NVMe PCIE SSD) and enter my code.
  • It tells me my EFI system partition was formatted as NTFS and should be FAT32.
  • Also, for some reason my empty Sata III SSD got partitioned to hell after this with tonnes of recovery partitions which I cannot delete.
Drive 0: My HDD with my OS currently installed.
Drive 1: Empty Sata III SSD.
Drive 3: Empty M.2 NVMe PCIE SSD which I want to put Windows 10 on.
Drive 4: My Sandisk USB I set up using: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10 automatically.

Does this mean when Windows turned my USB into a boot drive it formatted it wrong? Or is my SSD formatted wrong (Because I tried making my SSD FAT32 and NTFS and it always tells me to make it the other one)?
 
Solution
If you want to do an OS install on your M.2, then disconnect ALL other devices (except the install source) during the install. The installer just gets confused otherwise.
