Issues with installing windows.

[Imaginary Friend]

Hi!

After hours of sitting in front of this screen trying to figure out why upon windows setup my NVME ssd disappears. 

Basically these things happen when i do certain stuff in bios or outside

 

Step 1

When i boot into the UEFI flash drive it's like the NVME ssd disconnects immediately and it doesn't show up when i'm prompted the option to choose a drive to install windows on.

Step 2

So i turn off the pc, remove the UEFI flash drive and turn the pc back on... no boot sequences appear in bios. (the NVME ssd doesn't show up anymore, it did tho when i had the flash drive connected before i booted into it) (the NVME ssd re-appears after a reboot tho)

(extra)

there's also this thing where both of my UEFI flash drives have two boot options, one labeled with "UEFI" before the name and the other one without. I don't really know, something strange i

though i would add to this pile of info.

 

 

The flash drive isn't corrupted because i've tried the same thing with a different UEFI flash drive that i installed myself on another computer. 

 

Would love some suggestions, would really like to uncover the problem soon as possible.

I've had instances where some OSes would allow me to choose my desired NVMe drive to install them while others would not have that option. I think I solved it with a BIOS update, but it was never clear to me, for example, while an older version of Linux Mint would see the drive no problem with the older BIOS, but the latest version would not until the BIOS update.

I'm on version F11 (latest is F12e which looks like to only have "-Improve memory compatibility")

I know it's a drag to remove the heat sinks but yeah.
