Hey everyone. Thanks for your time.
I recently purchased one SSD nvme type but I can't install Windows on it. The weird thing is that it's detected for some parts/software of the PC but not others. Here the details:

MSI MAG B550M MORTAR WIFI --- BIOS updated
AMD RYZEN 5 5600X --- chipset updated
CORSAIR Force MP600 pcie 4 NVMe --- "CORSAIR SSD TOOLBOX v1.2.6.1" installed

is the SSD Detected?
-Disk manager: no
-DiskPart (cmd): no
-Win10 instalation booteable drive: no
-BIOS: yes
-Device manager: yes

so, wth is going on? :(

*haven't tried the other m2 port (pcie 3.0)
**haven't tried unpluggin all SATA cables
***haven't tried in another PC

Forget Windows for now ;)
Try to see if third-party programs like EaseUS Partition Master, Macrium or even Aomei Partition Assisten recognize this SSD.
If yes, sometimes it is enough to assign a new letter to the drive.

update:

*haven't tried the other m2 port (pcie 3.0) --> I can't because it's under the VGA and I wont remove the heatsink from SSD
**haven't tried unpluggin all SATA cables --> done. Not working.
***haven't tried in another PC --> not yet; could be never
