I was running out of space on my old SSD, so I upgraded with an M.2 drive. It’s functioning fine now. After wiping it, removing the volume, and trying to install Windows, it didn’t appear. I attempted installation without any other drives on the computer, using a Windows USB stick. My system has an MSI Mag X570 Tomahawk Wi-Fi, and the M.2 slot holds a Samsung 1TB 980.

The system specifications are unclear. Could you provide more details about the SSD or hardware?

I can capture a clear image of the SSD. Be cautious of any sticker-swap scams circulating online.

I understood it. I had to use diskpart first, then it resolved the issue, though I initially thought a reset in Windows would be sufficient.
