Hello,

I have an m.2 ssd that shows up in the bios and shows up in my current computer's file explorer. I've build a new computer and put the ssd in, it shows up in the bios but when I try to install windows from a bootable usb, the drive doesn't show up. I've tried formatting the drive on my current PC via the disk management window and it still doesn't work. The SSD also doesn't show up in windows installation when i run the bootable usb on my current computer - which makes me think the issue is with the ssd, not the motherboard. Any ideas how i can fix this? Is there someway i can install windows on the ssd without doing it from the bootable usb? - Like copying windows files over to it then booting from the ssd from bios?

Thanks
