I just built a new PC with the MSI B360 Gaming Arctic motherboard. I’m using one M.2 drive as the only storage in the build and my new Samsung EVO 960 M.2 is not showing up in Windows 10 installer or in the bios. How do I fix this?

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.

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

2 - Go into the bios, under the boot tab there is an option for CSM, make sure it is disabled.

3 - Insert a USB memory stick with a UEFI bootable ISO of Windows 10 on it, USB3 is quicker but USB2 works also. A Windows DVD won’t work unless you’ve created your own UEFI Bootable DVD.

4 - Press F10 to save, exit and reboot.
