I bought a cheap liteonit 128gb m.2 ssd off of Ebay the description said that it was professionally tested and the account I purchased it from looked trustworthy (of course, you never know, I am able to return it if need be) and I'm having some trouble installing windows on it.
Whenever I try to install windows it gives me an error saying "efi system partition was formatted as ntfs" to reformat as FAT32 then retry. I can't figure out how to format it as FAT32, so I instead I tried a common quick fix, deleting all partitions and clicking next with the blank space of the ssd so Windows can format the SSD itself, it started going for a little bit, then it tells me that Windows cannot finish the installation and to restart. I've never used an SSD before so idk if I'm doing something wrong or not, what should I do?

I appreciate any help I can get
