SSD won't show in bios

[gucciguy]

My ssd won't show in bios I know the ssd works because I've had it in a older system but I just put new motherboard ram and cpu in my PC and it doesn't show at all. I tried changing ports and trying a new cable

Its a Sata ssd, I had a 2nd drive which was an sshd and I also have it in my current system, but now when I try to install Windows on the hard drive it shows the ssd when but it says that it's mbr and it has to be gpt to get windows installed

Ah yes. You're gonna want to reformat the SSD as GPT for UEFI compatability. Unless you need it, I would advice against running in legacy mode just to avoid formating the SSD to keep it as MBR (which I don't imagine will pose a problem as you're reinstalling your OS anyway).It can pose all kinds of headaches down the road, and the only way of changing it is reformat and reinstall OS.

Lookie here - it gives instructions on how to boot as UEFI (not legacy), with a Windows 10 DVD or USB bootable drive/stick/device/memorycard/potato, and perform the format to GPT (if you're getting this error I expect you have a bootable install available at hand). About 2/3s down the page, look for sub-headline "To manually wipe a drive and convert it to GPT"
