Question Second M.2 Slot Not Working

[Saelop]

I just upgraded my laptop Asus S532FA-DB55, the motherboard has two m.2 slots, the second one was empty, I have installed another internal SSD exactly same model than the other one (WDS500G1B0C), but it is not recognized, it just doesn't appear in BIOS, windows or Gparted.
Any idea for solving it?
Thanks

There is no optio "Launch CSM" in my bios

Did you initialize and format the new m.2?

What other SSD's and/or HDD's are also installed?

Take a close look at the motherboard's User Guide/Manual.

Depending upon the current configuration, the necessary SATA connectivity for the second M.2 may already be taken by another drive.

Be sure to also check the BIOS configuration.

The other ssd installed in the laptop by ASUS is the same, WDS500G1B0C

This drive from WD IS an NVMe drive.

I'm not finding any documentation regarding that second m.2 port.
Enabled/disabled, what type of drive it can use (if any)...nada

the second m.2 port doesn't exist in the specs, but if you open the laptop it's just there

Right.
And 'existing' does not automatically mean it is usable for a second NVMe drive.
