Windows 10 M.2 Installation

[max64751]

So i have a 8GB flashdrive that I have windows 10 media creation tool downloaded onto, and now its at 4.03 GB Free Space. So in my MSi Click Bios 5 my boot priority is
1. USB Key: Imation Nano Pro PMAP
2. UEFI USB Key:UEFI: Imation Nano Pro PMAP, Partition 1 (both 1&2 i think are the usb with the media creation tool on it though I dont know why it is and which should be first)
3. CD/DVD:HL-DT-ST BDDVDRW CH30N (with Windows 10 CD in it)
4. UEFI Version of #3 (3&4 are my optical drive/windows10 disk)
5. Hard Disk
6. UEFI Hard Disk (I think 5&6 are my m.2)
So when I let the computer boot, it goes to
1. Windows 10 Logo
2. Time zone and language I press next then install
3. I type in my product key and press next
4. Accept terms and pres next
5. I am prompted with a screen upgrade or custom when I click custom (99% sure thats the right choice)
6. When it asks where I want to install Windows nothing shows up??? Neither my flashdrive or my m.2??? HELP!?!??!?!

Memory:
Samsung 960 250GB Evo
My 8GB Flashdrive

PLEASE HELP

You're complicating things by having more drives plugged in than necessary.
Why do you have a win 10 disk in the optical drive & a USB flash drive with an install too ??

Physically disconnect (power or sata cable ) from the drives you're not using for the initial install.

Just keep the m2 drive & then installation media connected fully.

When I did a similar thing with my ASUS Z170 board I had to have a SATA hard drive plugged in to make the Windows installer see any drives at all, but when I did it saw both the SATA hard drive and the M.2 SSD, so I installed the OS on the M.2 and then could remove the SATA drive.

You may want to try a similar thing, if you have a spare SATA hard drive (it can be either a spinning disk or an SSD and you do not have to install anything to it).

Madmatt also has a good point about minimizing the number of devices that you have plugged in at first.

Nothing happened when I unplug the optical drive

When i plugged in the hdd all i could see was the hdd (and no I will not download windows on it...)

MERGED QUESTION
Question from max64751 : "Installing m.2 Drivers"

When in the middle of installing windows with a usb stick and a samsung 960 evo 250gb it says "We couldn't find any drives. To get a storage driver click Load driver" Do i need to download a driver from samsung?
