Hey guys

I just built my own PC but I have a problem with window 10 installation. Somehow my SSD is showj there as drive 0, 0mb unallocated space. Thus I cannot proceee with the installation.

My system is as follow;
CPU RYZEN 7 3700X
MOBO MSI X570 gaming pro carbon wifi
GPU MSI RX5700XT gaming X
SSD corsair MP510 960gb
RAM Kingston Hyper X Predator
PSU Cougar GX-F 750W

(My motherboard shows M2 1 and M2 2 as being empty, but from what I heard it is normal for Nvme
 
Solution
Windows 10 can be installed on an NVMe M.2 drive with the only change to default BIOS settings the Disabling of CSM (Compatibility Support Module). (For MSI AM4 motherboard)

The NVMe M.2 drive should be the only drive connected.

To make bootable UEFI installation flash drive:

Have small USB flash drive about 8GB. Do a quick format of drive.
Download latest Windows 10 ISO file from Microsoft.
Download Rufus:
Run Rufus.
With USB flash drive chosen as device target in Rufus, Select ISO file and use in Rufus program. This will create the installation flash drive.

Boot up motherboard with flash drive installed to install Windows 10. No searching for M.2 drive necessary.

Windows 10 ? Bios set to UEFI ?
