[SOLVED] Is my m.2 memory compatible with my motherboard?

[theezrabeast]

My motherboard does not recognize the NVME M.2 drive I bought.

CPU: AMD RYZEN 7 3700X 8-Core 3.6 GHz (4.4 GHz Max Boost) Socket AM4 65W 100-10000007

Motherboard: ASUS AMD AM4 ROG Strix X570-E Gaming ATX Motherboard with PCIe 4.0 Ryzen Ready

M.2 drive: Silicon Power 256GB - NVMe M.2 2280 PCIe Gen3 x4 TLC R/W up to 3,100/1,100 MB/s

The motherboard manual say that it has:

Make sure the M.2 SSD was installed properly.
Are you trying to install Windows into it?

Windows installation does not see the M.2 SSD?
