Question M.2 shows in BIOS but not in Windows ?

[Heybub23]

So I just installed a M.2 ssd into my gigabyte x570 motherboard and when I go into bios it say it sees the device yet when I got to Windows it doesn’t show up?

I can’t format the device because it doesn’t show up in disk management. I have tried to reinstall Windows.

If you want to use it as your main drive do what i did turn it off and remove all drives then reboot and install windows on the m.2 drive then just reinstall the other drives and transfer all your user data across

I not trying to use it a my main drive but when I tried to install windows and i unplugged my other drives is the only time it can be found
