Windows 10: I'm having trouble installing to a new ssd

As the title says I've been trying to install to a new ssd that I got.

I'm using the windows 10 media installation and I can't get past any sort of boot process for it. I have tried changing my settings in my bios to boot from UEFI but it's just getting stuck at the Asus logo when I do that.

My specs are Asus 450 Strix Nvidia GeForce 1070 Corsair vengeance ddr4 ram 2x8gb AMD ryzen 7 3800x

Having trouble with clean install of Windows 10 on new SSD.

I loaded the Windows 10 installer onto a USB drive and booted it up, and the installer recognizes that I have an empty SSD with two partitions. However when I try to move to the next step the installer tells me it "couldn't create a new partition or locate
an existing one" and that I should check the Setup log files.

I don't understand why it's telling me this when on the same screen it shows two partitions on the SSD, one of which has plenty of space to install the OS. Any advice?

 

XPS 8930 will not recognize Samsung 970 pro NVMe M.2 SSD

I have this $300 ssd and now it wont even appear on the Computer drives list.
( Samsung 970 pro 1T NVMe M.2 SSD )
Windows 10 Home . The Dell has the ssd slot ; I connected it and fastened the screw . The driver software from Samsung wont even install, it gave me a error report mid way through. For it to even get that far in bios settings I turned off raid because other websites suggested that . I turned on something else I forget .

But still nothing. I have the Samsung magic drive software and that does not even see it .
Not at my wits ends, but almost.
Any help trouble shooting this problem is greatly appreciated.. *Sad

 

M.2 SSD Partitioning

My OS is installed on an 128GB SATA SSD,

All other applications, when ever possible I used to install on another 60 SATA SSD.

I am very happy with the performance. It is pretty fast, better than if it were on the same disk. I have tested the difference.

Now I have a new ASUS ROG Strix B450-F Gaming Motherboard with Two M.2 slots.

I am going to buy a 512 GB M.2 SSD.

As I have under stood the SSD consists of 4 Nos of NAND Chis.

Therefore on each NAND chip, I presume will have capacity of 64 GBs.

My question is are they really independent ?

Can they behave as independent Hard disks?

If yes,

Can I partition my new M.2 SSD into an 198GB and 64GB partitions -that means 3 NAND chips and one NAND Chip?

and enjoy the same or better speed than before that I had with the SATA SSD?
