Hey all,

I'm currently trying to install windows on a new ssd through a windows 10 media creation tool install on a USB drive. I get as far as setup, where I try to install windows to a drive, and by new drive doesn't show up. The drive has never been partitioned or used before. I already tried shift+f10, and the only drive that pops up is my USB. The drive shows up in BIOS. 

Thanks!

    You will have to find in your BIOS the option corresponding to Secure Boot, disable it and change the option referring to UEFI to Legacy option.

    Do you have a HDD that you can plug into the SATA and boot with the USB Windows 10 install media. Does it see the HDD?

    What is the make and model of you SSD? Is it attached to SATA?

    No dice. I got to the install screen, installed the x64 drivers, and windows still didn't detect the drive.
