I just installed a new 2TB WD Black NVMe SSD on my PC, and it shows up in the BIOS and Device Manager, but I can't see it in Windows. My motherboard is a B550M Pro-VDH WiFi. What should I do to get it to show up in Windows?

You'll need to format the new drive to NTFS for it to show up in Windows. It's not uncommon for new drives to not appear right away until they are initialized and formatted.

Try going into Windows Disk Management. Once there, you should be able to see the new drive listed. From there, you can format or initialize it to make it accessible.
