CPU: Intel - Core i7-7700K
Motherboard: Asus - STRIX Z270-E GAMING ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Storage: Samsung - 960 EVO 1TB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive
OS: Microsoft - Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

Im trying to install windows 10 on the 960 Evo M.2 but the drive is not detected in the UEFI bios or when i try to install windows 10.

I've tried changing M.2 Slots to see if that made a difference as well as disconnecting everything from the Sata Ports.

im hoping that the 960 isn't dead and there is something i have to change in the bios so it is detected.
 
Solution
It's very unlikely the 960 is dead. Make sure you are installing the SSD properly. Sometime it's not pushed in the M.2 socket far enough to make proper contact.
