hi all. i just installed an intel m.2 drive 1 TB. I have no idea what's going on since this is new tech to me. I can't find it showing up anywhere and I would like to reinstall windows on this drive.

Any tips?

Do you see it in the bios?
If so you want to assign a letter and format it in disk management.

I can see it in the bios, but do I need to enable RAID to do anything?
