Hello, I'm trying to install an m.2 nvme but I can't detect in the bios let alone windows. I have Gigabyte B450 AORUS M Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard. Trying to install an Samsung 970 Evo 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive. Yes my bios is updated to the latest revision. Which according to https://www.gigabyte.com/us/Motherboard/B450-AORUS-M-rev-1x/support#support-dl is F60e. Yes I did disable CSM (Compatibility support module.) Yes I did disconnect my ssd and my internal HD. I do believe the Samsung 970 is seated correctly. Any help will be appreciated.

so its not a clean install of windows, its already installed?

I thought it might have been on another tab in adv, but its just a tab on front page, did you click the m.2 button?
I assume the bios look similar on B450 to X570

I read one account where they only show in bios once they have an efi but that only works if they aren't storage drives.
