Hello, I bought a Samsung 970 Evo with 500GB storage recently. I've been attempting to install Windows 10 for hours but keep hitting roadblocks during the initial setup. It doesn't recognize the drive in UEFI mode. I managed to detect it via CSM, but once it's turned off, everything disappears again. No matter the settings or configurations I've tried, it hasn't worked so far. My setup includes an R5 3600 - 16GB DDR4 Corsair B450m Mortar with the latest BIOS, a Transcend 240GB SATA SSD, and several mechanical drives that aren't crucial. I've experimented with disabling CSM and booting in UEFI, enabling it on CSM but having it reset after setup, turning it off with Secure Boot enabled, and completely disabling CSM. All these attempts used only a flash drive connected to the PC, which I removed after the initial phase as advised. The SSD appears in "This PC" under storage after partitioning. Despite using Rufus and Media Creation Tool in various ways, nothing has succeeded. Please help me out.
