Not found any M.2 SSD detected.
You've set up your first PC and reached the Windows installation stage, but your M.2 drive isn't showing up in the BIOS. The power supply is active, and you can locate it among SATA, NVMe, or the main drive list. You're concerned it might not be compatible with your motherboard and CPU. Your motherboard is a Gigabyte B560M DS3H, and your CPU is an Intel i3-10100. You don't remember the exact model name, but it's a 256GB SATA III M.2 drive.
The M2P CPU is only compatible with the 11th Gen processor. For the 10th Gen, use a different M.2 slot.
Gen offers 16 PCIe lanes exclusively (excluding the M.2 SSD). Gen provides 20 PCIe lanes, including 4 dedicated to the M.2 SSD. The M2P_CPU appears to connect directly to the CPU rather than the chipset.
It could also suggest that if the initial SATA connection is linked to a drive, the M2A_SB might be turned off.
The device placed in the M.2 socket is interfering with the SATA connector's availability. This isn't the reverse situation. The M.2 connector remains functional regardless, but the SATA3 1 connector functions only when no M.2 SATA SSD is installed in the M2A_SB slot.
Also verify the connectors and consider swapping out the M.2 drive, then reinstall it. This might fix the problem. I built a setup with an ADATA SX 8200 PRO M.2 NVMe 2TB and a GIGABYTE DS3H board, and it worked perfectly with no issues.
