As far as I know, Z97 doesn't support NVMe as a boot device.

 

Scratch that, should work. IDK though.

Update BIOs and a new Windows disk is pretty much the only thiings you can try.

And ofc, check if the disk is in properly.

Did you Allocate the new disk using Windows Disk Management?

Is it detected in bios?

If it's not showing in the bios then the drive is faulty. My girlfriend's rig has an m.2 SSD in it and it is detected by the bios etc.
