Question MSI MPG X570 GAMING EDGE WIFI M.2 wont allow internet wifi or LAN

[FangsOfAWerecat]

Just seeing if anyone else has had this problems, I almost regret buying such a new board.
Main parts involved:
MSi MPG X570 Gaming Edge WIFI , WD blue 3d Nand 2TB SSD M2 2280 <--important

TLDR
either can use Wifi+LAN
OR
use the M2 sata Hard Drive
The PCIe lanes are not capable of doing both. MSI seemed to put no thought into adding Wifi and Bluetooth to the reference card and how to make the lanes all stay working, I doubt this board can use any M2 hard drives. If not for the additional Bluetooth and Wifi those lanes would likley be open and allow the drive to work,, anyhow a more detailed version of my experiance below.

Problem
Put Everything together, putting the WD into the Top heatsink covered M2 slot M2_1 on the board , NO Drive found not by windows installer or by Click Bios,, HMMM
went to advanced settings and played a bit still nothing. Went to internet they say move it to the lower M2_2 slot Reset the Bios to factory Boom appears on list problem solved right?

Not so fast, Mister
Installs Windows 10. Inside Setup there is no Internet adapters that windows can find sort of normal, Windows fully boots. try tons of driver stuff ,rebooting, and all that. Nothing. Looked for people with same issues could not find any. The word Wifi is on the boards name after all what the deal? Move on to LAN same its just missing no lights when plugged it or nothing.

Where's Waldo?
After some huge headache its time to pull components. Thinking something is defective.
I pull out the WD M2 first (right choice)
I pull a old sata HHDfrom the drawer that has a copy of Win7.
Its windows crashes when fired up but not before I see the Lan Lights come on,HMMMM
So I format it and install windows 10, right away to works no drivers or nothing both Lan and Wifi work now.

Solution
Put the M2 Drive into a adapter that looks like a SSD. Im not happy about it, but its what I'm doing. It appears that a Sata version of a M2 drive holds the PCI lanes down where it cant be seen in M2_1 and moving it to M2_2 it hogs the lanes making the internet section on the board. I cant test against a NVMe drive as they are out of budget.

Less important players in this problem that mak up the rest of the PC
Gskill Trident Z F4-3200C16D, MSi 5700 NT, Ryzen 3600, Seasonic Focus SSR-750FX
All tucked away in the not so flashy Cougar Conquer ok ok its a bit flashy

Anyone else had something like this? I mostly post this so others can not feel alone or mabey make the same mistake it also seems the 970-A intel boards had the same issue.
MSI usually is a no problems company with better thought out designs ,but not this round.

Got any ideas how to make it work let me know! Thanks

Closing the Wifi and LAN didn't fix the problem for me though.

My NVMe SSD works in both slots, but when you put an M2 SATA SSD M2_2 slot the thing that you are saying happens. Basically, you can see the drive in BIOS but you can't access it in OS. It also crashes Explorer.exe and while you can see the folders, you can't access them. I did have that M2 not found problem, after updating the BIOS, it was fixed.

Sniper23, have you had any issues with the new bios? What version did you get? I've been reading so many people having issues with the bios. So I'm afraid to update mine. My issue has been it takes like a minutes for the bios splash screen to come up and I have a m.2 ssd attached.

Here is an update:

I have updated to this: https://www.amd.com/en/support/chipsets/amd-socket-am4/x570

AMD's latest x570 chipset driver update, basically.

After updating that, all the problems with M2.SATA is solved. My NVMe SSD and NVMe SATA SSD now work peacefully and work as expected. No problem so far with it.

I am still on 7C37v12. Wi-Fi works as expected, but can not use Bluetooth (it doesn't create incoming and outgoing ports). Bluetooth doesn't work with my Galaxy note 4, basically.
