Also, are you running a GPT drive with EUFI or a MBR drive with a Legacy BIOS? If you try and run EUFI BIOS with an MBR drive, you will not be able to boot from it.

Most common issue is running a 10th generation CPU with the top most SSD slot which is PCIe 4.0 in use which would need a PCIe 4.0 CPU like the 11th Generation. You need to remove the heatsink and put the SSD into one of those two slots if you are running a 10th generation.

Did you put the m.2 drive in the middle slot that shares SATA ports 0/1?

Use the very bottom M.2 slot.

You might have the EUFI/MBR issue that I was describing, especially if you're bringing over an older install to the new system. There is a tool you can try from within Windows, but you'd have to go into your boot settings (I can't remember exactly where the option is) and change it from EUFI to "Legacy" to get into Windows on that drive if it is an MBR drive. You might also need to enable CSM in the advanced settings to get it to work. Then you should be able to enable the boot priority to that drive and boot into Windows. If you get that far, you can try to use the mbr2gpt.exe utility that is built into Windows. Here's a guide for that. I couldn't get it to work on my previous Windows install, so I made a backup using Macrium Reflect and wiped the drive. Then I set the BIOS back to EUFI mode (with CSM disabled), booted to the Windows installation media on a flash drive and converted the drive to GPT from DISKPART during a fresh Windows install ( guide for that).

I always do a clean install with only one single HDD installed... then add the others in later. Windows tends to sneak files onto the other drives and I always wanted a clean dedicated OS drive.
in fact, new build I don't install anything but the minimum to boot. one c: HDD, one stack of RAM. not even a video card at first. I don't even mount the motherboard yet.... all done on cardboard box it shipped in.

Not sure if this will help ya, but when I first got my Z590 FTW, and tried to do a fresh install Windows on my new M.2 SSD, it showed in the bios, but Windows did not see it, and therefore would not install to it....Turns out, I had a fairly old copy of Windows 10. Downloaded the latest from Microsoft onto a Flash drive, and problem solved.....
