Hey guys, just looking for any advice anyone can give me, I have been at this for awhile. Ok so I am attempting to install a clean version of Windows 10 Home with GPT on a Samsung Evo Plus 250gb m.2. I have tried everything I can think of to install this correctly however every time I do a new installation of Window 10 it always installs MBR format instead of GPT.
Some things I have done to attempt to correct the issue:
Ensured the Windows 10 Home version is x64 not x32
Converted my m.2 drive from GPT to MBR(by default this is already done, but I converted to MBR and converted it back to GPT in a attempt to fix the issue)
In my BIOS(UEFI) I disabled CSM and Safe Boot since from what I read this may cause an issue with GPT
I use RUFUS 3.4 to install the ISO downloaded from Microsoft, ensure its on NTFS file with GPT enabled
These are all the tips I read up on and have yet to be successful. Any advice would be appreciated.

Motherboard: Gigabyte z390 Aorus Master
Chipset: i9 9900k
M.2: Smasung 970 Evo Plus 250gb
CPU Cooler: Corsair h150i
Graphics Card: EVGA Geforce FTW 3 RTX 2080ti
