By no option you mean what???

 

If it didn't show up in the install then you need the drivers.

I need more information, If you remove all of the other drives does it give you an error like this one?

Go to the manufacture website and download the driver, while you have windows 10 installed. Format the ssd just to reduce the risk of windows not being able to use the current partition, I've had to do this on several new SSD's.

It's either not partitioned correct or missing the driver, it's one of the two. You'll have to download it, throw it on a usb and load it when your in that installation screen.

But the windows updater doesnt have the proper driver. It is a seperate entity from your currently installed os which probably auto downloaded the drives when you first booted up with the ssd installed.

Not a windows driver, I said that. It's a propriety driver windows needs for the driver in order to use it post install.

Go to the manufacture website and download the driver

You will need to put the driver on the install media or on a flash driver to load it up.
