In bios there is a option to show all boot options that makes you select what drive you want.
Be sure sure you give yourself that option. Go over the following (my FTW) should be similar for your DARK.
Don't be like me ...slow down...had the same initial problem ...
Page 23 ****HDD/SSD/M.2 Setup Next, click “Boot” from the menu list at the top. “Boot Option #1” should show the device that you intend to install your operating system. If you are using a standard SSD/HDD connected to a SATA port, but the device is not present in the Boot Option #1 menu, scroll down to “UEFI Hard Disk Drive BBS Priorities” at the bottom. In this menu, the top item will be “1st Boot” and will have a pulldown menu on the right. Click on the pulldown menu and select the intended drive; this will make the drive appear on the previous menu. If the drive continues to be missing, please check the troubleshooting section on Page 146. If you plan on using an M.2 as a boot device, click on or navigate to the “Advanced” menu, select “Onboard Device Configuration” and enable the port with your installed M.2 device. Once this is done, press F10 to save and exit, plug in your operating system installation medium (likely a thumb drive) and Windows 10 should be able to boot to the M.2 without issue.
Additional information to assist with M.2 or PCIe installation can be found in the next section.
*Note* Some device manufacturers require specific drivers for HDDs or SSDs (such as M.2) before Windows can detect the drive for installation. Please make sure to consult the manufacturer’s instructions for your
Page 146 ****SSD / HDD is not detected It is important to note that, as with *ALL* storage devices, if there is a connectivity issue, make sure it is enabled in BIOS. Likewise, if there is a device that shares bandwidth with your SSD or HDD (Page 23), make sure that the desired device is enabled in BIOS, or all other troubleshooting that comes after this section is moot. If you’ve physically installed a drive that is not detected in Windows, by Windows setup, or within BIOS, please take the following steps. Component troubleshooting is primarily accomplished through process of elimination testing to deduce a faulty component or a bad connection.
Hopefully your M.2 drive is seated properly!
