You will need to create a new volume on your new disk. Right-click on Disk 1 and select New Simple Volume.

Partition needs to be created first. Only then you can format it.

Do you intend to install OS on to your new SSD?
Then just disconnect HDD, boot from windows installation media and install windows.
Install process will create all the necessary partitions and formatting.

I have a pm 961 drive and it's showing in disk managment 450 mb sizes x 4 disk. It only displays help when I right click on any of them. I have a x370 MSI SLI Plus board. It's showing in bios. I can't do anything with it for some reason. I have achi on and I have 3 other hdds with 1 SSD sata. This is my first time trying to use this m.2 as other told me it was fast. I def can't get it working fast enough lol.
