Question My M.2 NVMe SSD isn't showing up in the BIOS ?

[Nmiyme]

I recently upgraded my motherboard & CPU with a Gigabyte Z690 Gaming X and an Intel i5-13600kf.
I booted up the pc and in the bios it says that it can't detect a boot path and I've noticed in the M.2 area and options menu that nothing is being detected when it was clearly installed. I've tried re-installing the NVMe SSD and turned on CSM. I have no idea why this PC can't detect the SSD, especially when it was moved directly out of my old motherboard which it was working on. My HDD however is easily detected.

My m.2? i just found out its a sata m.2 drive and that i should probably try and use the other m.2 slots to find which one supports sata m.2.

For an M.2 SATA SSD you need to install it in the slot marked M2M_SB

The other three M.2 slots only support PCIe/NVMe SSD.
