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!

    Oh I see now. Microsoft has it without the underscore.

    Del x:\windows\inf\amdsata.inf

    OK. I think I figured it out.

    20H2 has newer drivers for AMD SATA but they probably don't have your hardware ID.

    Let's open the command prompt using Shift-F10.

    del x:\Windows\Inf\AMD_SATA.INF

    Now let's go back to the Windows Setup GUI and where you Load Driver.
