Help needed with m.2 drive

[Boomy1354]

I have just bought a  m.2 ssd (xpg asx6000 pro 256 gig) and I've spent the last two days fighting with it. (Motherboard is a X370 gaming f)  i have tried to install Windows from every disc and USB under the sun and I can't find a clone tool that will work either. Please help, I'm tired and haven't slpet

Yes I can use the drive so it is detected but windows refuses to install on it and the thing that I had the most hopes for was a uefi Bootable USB drive that was created from a windows 10 isolated using a tool called rufus. Thanks for being willing to help

It tells me windows can not be installed on that drive because my system isn't configured to boot from it although occasionally it just straight up isn't detected

First reinstall the M.2 drive just to sure maybe in a different slot. Then create a windows installation media on your USB drive using Microsoft's tool, available on their website.

Just download the tool and create bootable USB drive on another laptop or system. Then boot into the USB and install windows. Make sure the M.2 is formatted to NTFS and is empty.
