Hi all

a couple of days ago I bought a new Acer aspire 3 a315-56 (with SSD) and I want to install Linux on it

After changing SATA mode to AHCI, I was able to run the installer from my USB drive but the installer can't see any disks, it only detects the USB drive itself

what I tried is:
  1.  created supervisor password for bios
  2.  enabled f12 boot
  3.  disabled fast boot
  4.  changed SATA mode from "optaine without raid" to "AHCI"
my BIOS version is v1.17

I don't care if windows won't boot at all, I need to have a Linux distro on it, but if it's possible to have both of them together this would be great



please help me fix this issue.
