I got a new motherboard Gigabyte B460M DS3H AC V2 and CPU Intel Core i7 10700 for my PC. I hooked everything back up correctly and I'm using my old M.2 NVMe as the C: operational windows drive.
It booted up into BIOS but I can't see the M.2. I can't boot into windows. in easy mode it says M2Q: N/A under M.2

I tried setting secure boot to disabled. Secure boot mode is standard. CSM support is disabled.

Not sure what to try.
 
what was the old motherboard?
model of the m.2 nvme?
update: I ran ventoy (booted into USB) and diskpart doesn't show any C: (my M.2) Crystal Disk showed nothing ... I'm wondering if My M.2 is dead. I guess I can buy another one ... since they're only about $70 (1TB).

any updates on tho? I have a similar issue, only that in my case M.2 SSH disk only shows on cold boot start, only then I'm able to boot into Wins
