So I made a new build and am unable to install windows 10. My bios says there's no existent M.2 and so it doesn't show up on the driver part for windows. I'm using a Samsung 980 pro on the B560 pro.

I think it would be best to use the support form

The first M.2 slot M2_1 can only work, when using an 11th Gen CPU, because these have more PCIE lanes.
M2_1 works with 11th Gen IntelĀ® Core??processors only)**

However it should work in one of the other 2 slots
Use the latest BIOS (2.30), this already has the apropriate settings for Windows 11.
And in the BIOS, under BOOT, set CSM to disabled.
Start the system, and use F11 to get into the bootmenu, and select the UEFI device to boot from, this will make the OS installed in UEFI (GPT) mode, which is necessary for Windows 11.
Alternatively, you can use the media creation tool (google for it)to create a USB stick with Windows 11.
You can install Windows 11, and activate it, using the Windows 10 license key.
Be aware that you must use the same version, when your Win10 is a home version, you must also use Win11 home.
On home edition, you MUST use a microsoft account, on Pro edition, you can also use a local account
Kind Regards
