just got a m.2 nvme ssd on ebay, but cat see it in bios on msi b350 pc mate board (latest bios)

have i missed a setting somewhere..??

drive is an intel SSDPEKKA128G7 (says the 256 version is supported but doesnt mention the 128)
 
NVME SSDs do not appear within the BIOS until Windows creates the system partition with the EFI Boot Sector. Your M.2 SSD contains UEFI driver information within the firmware. By disabling the CSM module Windows will read and utilize the M.2-specific UEFI driver. Some newer motherboard models do not have a CSM module

1- The M.2 drive has to be the only drive installed.

2- Insert a USB memory stick with a bootable UEFI USB drive with Windows 10 Setup on it.

Don't suppose you could explain it in Dumbo talk could you..? I've looked in bios, the nearest to what I think I need to do (tried it doesn't work) is set "boot mode select" to "legacy+uefi" instead of just "uefi"..
MSI bios is e7a34ams.a70
