What are you trying to do when you say "deactivate" it? Are you trying to remove it?

M.2 isn't hot swappable so you're gonna have to power down the system in order to physically remove the drive. You don't need to remove it like a USB drive. In fact, the best practice is to be always powering down the system before removing any sort of internal drives.

i dont want to physically remove the drive.. both of the ssd´s are m2 and the one im trying to deactivate from windows is at the top under the cpu heatsink.. it should be possible to deactivate it in device manager or set it offline in disk manager but it doesnt show up?!. thats what im asking for

My guess is you have the bootloader on the second drive so windows prevent it to be offline.

If you're not going to remove the drive, why are you trying to deactivate it? What are you planning to achieve by doing so here?

Unplug the second drive with a usb installer go to command prompt and create a boot loader inside the new ssd with bcdedit.
