I installed a second M.2 drive on my X470 it shows up in the BIOS as a boot option but in Windows it is not showing up..How can I get Windows to see that as a new drive...

The drive is not initialized yet, that's all.
Goto Computer Management->Storage->Disk Management.
Here you should see your disk 0 with volume "C" and the new uninitialized disk 1.
Setup the disk1 by creating a NTFS partition/volume which will be named "D".

Depending on your system, the numbering can differ.
