Difficulty installing windows on M.2

[Kyledales99]

Hello, Forst time poster here. 

 

I recently just upgraded my PC and wanted to install my OS onto a Samsung Nvme 980 500gb drive. My storage has always been my main bottleneck. I have been unsuccessful no matter what setting I change in the bios. The once windows is installed the drive just disappears and it just goes into a infinite "install loop" and only detects the USB installation media. 

I have tried:

-enabling and disabling CSM

-all combination of legacy and UFEI boot options

-Q-flashing my bios to the most recent firmware

-moving the slot the drive is in

-disconnecting all other drives

-trying multiple M.2 Drives and different USB install media

-enabling and disabling secure boot

-giving up and installing it on a SSD instead.

 

Here is my build

-processor: i9900K

-GPU: 3090 FTW3

-32 GB of DDR 4 3200 ram

-~4 TB of HD storage outside of 1 SSD and the samsung 980 drive

-MOBO: Aureus Z390 Pro Wifi with most updated bios

-Windows Home

 

 

I am completely stumped at this point. I have tried for several hours

This is how I did install, last time :

Here is the whole procedure for install of windows on nvme drive.

1 - Make sure you unplug all SATA and USB drives, the M.2 drive has to be the only drive installed.
2 - Go into the bios, under the boot tab there is an option for CSM, make sure it is disabled.
3 - Click on secure boot option below and make sure it is set to other OS, Not windows UEFI.
4 - Click on key management and clear secure boot keys.
5 - Insert a USB memory stick with a UEFI bootable ISO of Windows 10 on it.
6 - Press F10 to save, exit and reboot.
7 - Windows will now start installing to your NVME drive as it has its own NVME driver built in.
8 - When the PC reboots hit F2 to go back into the BIOS, you will see under boot priority that Windows boot manager now lists your NVME drive.
9 - Click on secure boot again but now set it to Windows UEFI mode.
10 - Click on key management and install default secure boot keys
11 - Press F10 to save and exit and windows will finish the install.

Once you have Windows up and running, shutdown the PC and reconnect your other SATA drives.

I actually found a similar guide to this on another website. Still no avail, any suggestions on modifications I can make to the sequence potentially end with a different result? Thanks for the reply
