Windows 10: install windows 11 on my m2 ssd with USB Media. Loop

Hello. I am trying to install windows 11 on my m2 ssd with USB Media. The installer completes and then reboots the computer and takes me back to the beginning of install again. Any way to move forward?

New M2 card "not compatible" with windows 11

I ended up resolving this myself. for people who want help with this issue, I did the following:

• I unplugged both my other storage devices from my motherboard - an SSD and a hard drive
  
• I ran startup with only the M2 card attached and the windows 11 media USB inserted
  
  • I think that the m2 card being alone was enough to force the system to want to install. I didn't make any other changes from above for the install to work (I was fully compatible to install but it didn't anyway)
    
• setup worked normally from there.
  
• I had to reconnect and manually format the SSD which had my previous OS on it later.
  
  • If you have problems here with the system booting off your old OS, you'll need to go into BIOS and change the booting order so put your new storage device first.
    

 

M2 SSDs

Motherboard: Intel B560

Processor: i511400

OS: Windows 11

SSD: Western Digital 2TB

Windows won’t recognize me M2 SSD and I’m not sure why, I went to disk management and nothing. I went to the BIOS and it’s not showing there either. I used the cmd tool and put in the command’ disk list’, to no avail. Everything is tight and secure but nothing is popping up. Please advise.

M2 NVME SSD

So you think it truly is worth it to have windows installed on an M2 NVME SSD instead of installing it on a sata-600 ssd and installing your most important software on the M2 NVME SSD ?
