You recently installed a new M.2 SSD in Windows and encountered issues locating it during installation. After performing a clean Windows setup from a USB drive, you're stuck in a restart loop and can't set the SSD as the boot device after the first reboot. The problem persists despite trying various BIOS configurations (secure boot, UEFI only) and removing other drives before the install. Any advice or solutions would be appreciated.

I understand you referred to a recent SSD purchase, but it may be beneficial to activate legacy mode in your BIOS if available. This approach isn't a complete solution, but trying it could potentially address the problem.

I've already attempted that too, but the outcome remains unchanged. It seems I've reached my limit on making it function properly at this point.
