You've just set up a 500GB WD SSD and are facing issues installing Windows 10. The installation media isn't recognizing the SSD, while BIOS lists it under SATA2 in Storage Configuration. This suggests a potential mismatch between your drive type and the BIOS settings. Double-check that your motherboard supports SATA2 and ensure the SSD is properly seated. If the problem persists, verify the BIOS version and update it if necessary.

It might be that the SSD is faulty or the motherboard isn't recognizing it. Consider reinstalling the SSD and then turning on your computer.
