Spent 10+ hours on this and could do with help. I've searched through tons of posts on google of people seemingly having the same issue but none get to the answer I'm looking for.
I'm trying to install windows onto an SSD. I've created a bootable EUFI USB (with Rufus), my BIOS recognises this and shows the USB twice in boot options (EUFI USB and USB), however it doesn't show my SSD as EUFI, only legacy.
If I set EUFI only I can't see my SSD in BIOS (windows installer still see's the disk). So even after installing windows, it wont boot from the disk. If i set it to legacy and UEFI, or just legacy, it wont boot as it says no bootable media.
I've tried installing as legacy but windows doesn't let me do that on the installer, it only lets me if I set the drive to GPT for EUFI via cmd diskpart.
I've updated BIOS to the latest version.
I've changed the AHCI options.
Feels like somehow windows is missing something off the drive, but when I've checked the files windows created on there everything seems to be in order.
