I'm having trouble getting my SSDs to show up in the Windows installer. I created a USB drive using the Windows creation tool, and while the drives are visible in the BIOS, they don't appear during installation. I've already formatted, initialized, and partitioned them, and they work fine in an enclosure on a different computer. I've tried adjusting the boot mode and disabling security settings, but the only thing I see when selecting disks for installation is my USB drive.

You might have RAID mode enabled in your BIOS, which could prevent the installer from seeing your SSDs. Try disabling RAID in the BIOS settings – Windows requires specific drivers for that setup during installation.
I'll look into that. Just a heads up, I recently had a Windows update that messed with my booting, and after decrypting my files, I thought it was best to wipe everything and start fresh. That's when I got the new SSD, but I didn't think BIOS settings would change. I'll definitely check!
