[SOLVED] samsung m.2 ssd wont show in bios uefi

[datkinson82]

How can I get my Samsung 970 Evo Plus nvme m.2 drive to show up as boot device
my motherboard is A320M-HDV R4,0 P4.00

The Samsung drive does not show in the uefi as a boot device but it is visible in storage configuration.
CSM is disabled.
I can boot into Windows Boot Manager which is on my old SSD that came with the computer and it will find my windows install on the samsung drive and give me the option to boot from the windows install that is on the Samsung drive, but I want to remove the old SSD and just be able to boot from the Samsung.

I have updated the uefi to the latest and set everything to default.
I confirmed BIOS mode is in windows info uefi (not legacy) and partition style of the drive in disk management is GUID (GPT)
I have tried disconnecting the old sata ssd and the Samsung drive still won't show as a boot device

If anyone has any idea at all it would be awesome thanks

Look at this ( very good descrition about the sane problem):

Can't boot from M.2 NVMe SSD

I had a Samsung 850 SSD (SATA) with Windows 10 on it. I bought Samsung 970 SSD (M.2). Turned off the computer, plugged it in, inserted a bootable USB stick with Windows 10 on it. Went directly to BIOS and changed boot priority to boot from the stick. Then, I installed Windows 10 on the new drive...

Thanks I got it working! All I needed to do was re-install windows 1 more time while my other ssd was disconnected.
