Hello, I own an MSI H270 GAMING M3 motherboard and recently got a WD Black SN770 (SSD M.2) for extra storage. My Windows 10 is on a Samsung SATA EVO (SATA2), and I still have a Toshiba HDD (SATA4). The issue is that the new SSD isn’t showing up in BIOS, Windows, or drivers. I’ve moved it from slot M2.1 to M2.2, adjusted SATA connections on other drives, updated BIOS, but nothing works. The board supports M.2 and the NVME drive is brand new. I checked BIOS settings for M.2 options and Compatibility support, but couldn’t find anything useful. Help would be greatly appreciated.

No, there are no devices in the second full-size PCI-E slot.
