New Fitted SSD M2 Not found on windows 10 install

[surreysteve]

My original SSD M2 popped and didn't show in Bios

Put a new 128gb SSD M2 and it shows in Bios now

But when i go for a fresh windows 10 install from USB it cant find the drive when you get to the window to select drive to load onto

Any ideas ?

Thank you

Format the drive during install: It's possible the drive isn't formatted yet. During Windows 10 installation, you should see an option to format the drive before selecting it. Try formatting it and see if Windows recognizes it then.

This is the thing

You cant see the drive to format !

Even diskpart doesn't see it only bios
