Question Why isn't my built in SSD showing up during windows installation?

[drtel]

I just bought my first laptop, and it came without an OS, so I tried installing windows 10 with a pendrive, and during installation my SSD doesnt show up in the options, neither in diskpart, nor in the BIOS in the boot priority section. It only shows up in the storage section of the BIOS. What should i do?

Laptop: make, model, hardware specs?

Where did you get the Windows 10 pendrive?

What installation procedure did you follow?

I torrented the same win 10 i have on my pc, and wrote it on my pendrive I use for pretty much only windows installing via Rufus
I plugged my win 10 pendrive in, booted it up, started the windows installation, and got stuck on the choose where to install windows 10 screen.

Don't do that.​

Get the actual Win 10, direct from Microsoft.

Yeah im not gonna spend 50 bucks on a windows, because as a college student I'd rather eat this month than buy a brand new OS. The one I use now is perfectly safe, i used it a million times, the problem is definitely with my laptop

Yeah, the MediaCreation and ISO from Microsoft is $0.
Zip, Zero, Nada, Nothing.

The license key is what costs money.

But you go ahead and pirate software.
Just like when you go to work Monday morning and the boss says..."Well, we like your work. We're just not gonna pay you anymore. Oh, and you can't quit."

Closing this.
Come back when you have a valid OS to install with.
