Z370 Taichi, can't see freshly installed NVME SSD

   G'day, I'm about ready to have a cry because I can't handle stress well.

I've got a Z370 Taichi I bought ~5 years ago and I'm trying to install a Lexar NM790 into it.

I've tried slotting the SSD into M2_1 and M2_2 with similar results; when I launch Windows and go into disk management, there's no new disk to format. When I jump into the BIOS, it doesn't detect anything connected in the slot it's currently in.

I've updated the BIOS to the latest version (https://www.asrock.com/MB/Intel/Z370%20Taichi/index.asp#BIOS), 4.20I Beta, and still can't see anything new connected to the slot of choice.

My Windows drive sits on an A-slot, I'm NOT trying to install a fresh copy of Windows on this new SSD.

Cheers,
Psy

	Fixed! Feeling like a god amongst men. I installed the SSD into the slot closest to the CPU and GPU. Appeared in BIOS and Windows on next boot. I hate computers.
