I received a new motherboard Gigabyte B460M DS3H AC V2 and an Intel Core i7 10700 for my PC. I reconnected everything properly and am using my old M.2 NVMe as the C: drive during operation.
It started up in BIOS but I can't see the M.2. I'm unable to boot into Windows. In Easy Mode it displays M2Q: N/A under M.2.
I attempted to disable secure boot, but it remains enabled. CSM support is turned off.
I don't know what else to try.

I used ventoy (started from USB) and diskpart didn't display any C: drive (my M.2). The Crystal Disk showed nothing... I'm concerned the M.2 might be dead. Maybe I should buy another one, as they're around $70 for a 1TB version.

There are any new developments regarding this? I'm experiencing a comparable problem, but in my scenario the M.2 SSH drive is visible only after a cold boot, which allows me to boot into Windows.

I also shared it here last week, but there wasn't much reply, so I posted again.
