NVMe M.2 shows up in bios but not in Windows

[Bucket7274]

I just upgraded my computer with brand new parts, I got brand new everything besides my old graphics card and PSU. In my old computer I was booting off of a 970 EVO Plus 2TB M.2. When I put my old M.2 into my new motherboard it worked fine, but when I put in my brand new 990 EVO 1TB it would show up in BIOS but nowhere in windows. I can't see it on device manager, storage spaces, or system information.

 

I have tried to look for guides on the internet for help but nothing has helped so far. I have seen some fixes where something is wrong in the BIOs but I have tried to look and change problematic settings but nothing has helped. I also tried using a different M.2 slot but that also didn't help at all. Ive also tried to update the storage controllers and they are up to date. I saw another fix that told me that my SSD and Hard Drive were the problem and told me to unplug them and try again and that also did not work.

 

This is my first time writing on a forum about computer problems so sorry if I didn't convey the problems effectively and if anyone needs more information. I could just really use some help so I can use my brand new M.2

You need to look in Disk Management it will be listed there and then click initialize disk. It will be ready for use then.

It was not appearing in disk management when I was having the problem, I continued looking for a solution and i tried using my BIOs secure erase function to "erase" the data on my new drive. After doing so i rebooted and looked in disk management and it was there! Very goofy fix but im glad it worked

 

Thank you for trying to help though.
