Well information on the motherboard you have would be helpful but if I had to hazard a guess I suspect when you populate that M.2 slot then one or two of the sata ports are disabled so you could move the sata port to which your other drives are connected away from the first two sata ports.

From the manual

So the SATA slot with your Windows install is likely in the one that gets disabled. Move the port and you'll be good.
