Help setting up a SSD from BIOS

PC: acer predator Helios 300

Context: got a new SSD to replace my previous one which I thought it was broken.

I can see my SSD at the first window of BIOS and in advance mode > main (1st and 2nd picture) but I can’t see it as a bootable drive (3rd picture).

Also when i plug my USB boot drive and try to install windows it does not show any SSD or any type of memory in custom instalation (4th to 8 pic)

I haven’t messed up with the BIOS but I did try to find it with repair your computer > troubleshoot > command prompt and did the DISKPAR, list disk and the SSD is not in the list

Any help please, got the new SSD bc I thought that this would fix my PC, I’m sure I’m doing something wrong, if you know any other forum where I can post this it is also appreciated
Sorry for my bad English lol

why do you think your old SSD is bad? any errors, not bootable anymore or something else?

Update the BIOS of your laptop if available

How did you create the USB boot drive?
use the latest version of the official windows media creation tool

The BIOS boot section doesnt se it yet, because it has no bootable operating system on it yet.

In which slot is the new SSD plugged in? try the other M.2 slot

windows install should automatically see it,
if not:
