So this is confusing me. I have a M.2 PCIe Gen 3 x 4 SSD 250Gb. Decided to upgrade. I pulled it out and replaced it with n new M.2 PCIe Gen 3 x 4 1Tb drive in. I booted via my USB to install Windows 10 on it. It showed up and I clicked install. I got an error 0x80300002. So I rebooted but the M.2 drive did not show up on the drive list.

So I rebooted and changed the CSM settings and enabled M.2 in my bios which is MSI Bios 5 2024. Rebooted, but it took my PC 24 minutes to load the Windows installer and the M.2 wasn't there. So I tried different settings in the BIOS again from youtube videos and it still didn't work and takes on average 5-20 minutes to boot to anything, even the Bios.

But when I remove the new M.2 SSD and put the old one back, everything boots perfectly and instantly into Windows.

Then when I put the new one in, it took 15 minutes just to load the BIOS and the drive still wasn't seen. I also tried DISKPART Disk List as well and nothing showed up. I'm dead confused.
The motherboard is a 470 Gaming Max.
