Windows 10: M.2 NVMe not seen when trying to install Win 10 64 bit.

Laptop got hacked and they encrypted the hard drive with bitlocker. I disk part / clean the M.2, then tried to reformat it back Win 10. The install program dose not see the M.2I put the M.2 in another laptop and Win 10 installed fine.The M.2 is a PM991 NVMe HP PN:L65187-002 out of a HP 15-dw3000.HP dose not seem to have the driver for this.look for the Driver / Standard NVM Express ControllerThe HP BIOS is very basic and I have set it back to Default.Any help is welcome.

Windows is not recognizing an NVMe M.2 drive

Have Win 10Pro everything is fine except I can Not get a new NVMe M.2 to be recognized correctly by the OS it sees it as a SATA even though it is in a M.2 slot on Motherboard. I need more of an order of things to be done between the BIOS and Win 10. I
installed a Samsung 970 Pro 1 TB drive in a Z270X Gaming 7 MB and Win 10 has a problem and it sees it and formatted it as a Sata with only a little less than 500g of space???

 

about intel optane memory + NVMe™ M.2 SSD

nitially

intel optane memory M10(16,32,64gb)PCIe NVMe M.2 3.0x2 was for accelerating 2.5'SATA mechanical HDD regardless of which generation intel CPUs.

also note :

not talking about Intel® Optane™ Memory H10 with Solid State Storage (32gb+1tb, 32gb+512gb ,16gb+256gb)PCIe NVMe3.0x4 that comes as a single m.2 drive which is mounted on single m.2 slot

but now why

intel optane memory M15(16,32,64gb)(PCIe NVMe 3.0 x4)is-- paired with --PCIe® NVMe™ M.2 SSDs {which is mounted on two differnt m.2 slots on 7th ,8th and 9th gen intel CPUs}

what is the purpose

ex: 512 GB PCIe® NVMe™ M.2 SSD + Intel® Optane™ memory 32 GB on (Intel® Core™ i7 9750H) seen from HPs Omen X 2S - 15 Gaming Laptop.

 

Install Windows 10 32 bit on M.2 drive

I have an M.2 drive that I'm currently trying to install Windows 10 x32 on (we need the 32 bit version for work apps). Installing Windows 10 x64 works just fine, but trying to install the 32 bit version from the same Microsoft-provided USB install stick doesn't work.

Facts:

• In UEFI boot mode, the install works for x64, but doesn't even get to the Start Install page for x32:
  
  
  
  
• In Legacy mode, I get the Start Install page, but when I get to the Select Partition page, Windows won't let me install onto my M.2 drive. I don't have this problem for x64.
  
  
  
  
  The popup is what you get when you click the Windows can't be installed on this drive link on the bottom. If you ignore that and click next, it will give you the following screen.
  
  
  
  
  
• This is different than the GPT/MBR error. I've also tried formatting the disk, and converting it between GPT and MBR. No dice.
  
• I get the same message whether run the installer on my laptop (Lenovo T470p -- where the drive will eventually be going), or desktop (Dell OptiPlex 3040, through a PCIe adapter).
  
• I've installed and booted Win10x32 installations on the desktop before, so I'm doubtful it's a hardware problem on that side.
  

Note that the M.2 drive came with the laptop, and the specs say it should be compatible with Windows 10 x32. We've spoken with tech support (shutter), and they've confirmed this as well, but they weren't able to tell us how (at least not at the level we got to).

Research:

According to this dell support page,

This may or may not be applicable to Lenovo systems as well.

I've seen a bunch of questions on the internet (and SU) on how to install Win10x64 if that's not working, but my question is specifically about the 32 bit version, since the 64 bit version works.

Is there anything I've missed? I'd be more than willing to try out a list of configurations if you need more info; I've pretty much hit a brick wall. We ordered another M.2 drive that should get here today as well. I'll update with how that one goes.

Edit: Different than this question. That question is for 64 bit installs, and I've tried the suggested answer there (removing all other drives), to no avail.
