why i cant use my m.2 ssd as a botable device to install windows 10 on it? nitro 5 an_515_42

XxAmmarxX

Hi I bought an m.2 SSD for my Acer nitro 5 an_515_42 but when I tried to install windows on it, it's not visible on bios and I can't use it as a bootable device I tried to change the bios mode from UEFI to legacy but unfortunately, there is no legacy mod on this laptop model I don't know what to do to make my SSD a bootable device and the strange thing here is when I install windows 10 in the HDD it's visible in windows and I can use it normally but I can't install windows on it which is the reason that I bought it for. I don't know why I tried to search on youtube for a solution for this problem and most of them solve the problem by changing their bios from UEFI to legacy which is the thing that I can't do on this laptop because it only supports UEFI please if anyone has had the same problem and fixed it please help me.

Your new SSD might not be formatted for UEFI yet. If you still have old windows on the laptop, you can change it to UEFI.
