Firstly are you making it as a secondary storage drive or making it a boot up drive?

Well I believe it is but 1st you need to make sure your bios detected your m.2 SSD. Den select it as the 1st boot drive.

ok i found the fix. https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/811491-nvme-mbr-or-gpt-im-confused/

1.Open the Command Prompt. This can be done by triggering the Run -- Windows Key + R -- feature, and opening "cmd".
2.Type "diskpart" to open the disk partitioning software. Accept the UAC security prompt, if asked.
3.Type "list disk". The program will then show you a list of all the physical drives (HDD, SSD, USB, etc.) that are attached.
4.Identify the disk number of the SSD (it can be recognized by looking at the size column; it's usually the last listed disk) and type "select disk X", where "X" is the disk number of your SSD.
5.Type "clean". This will erase the contents of the SSD, so make sure you have the contents backed-up (if any) beforehand.
6.Type "create partition primary". This command will create a primary partition on the SSD.
7.Type "select partition 1". This command will select the created partition.
8.Type "active". This command will make the selected partition active.
9.Type "format fs=ntfs quick". This command will format the created partition as NTFS.
10.Type "assign". This command will assign a letter to the SSD, which will make it show under Windows Explorer.

You don't need these lengthy processes.

Use Samsung Data Migration software to clone the existing system drive to the EVO970.

A simpler way.

Press start, type create partition.

Open up and you can see your drive there. Right click on it and you will see create new volume. Follow on screen instructions.

I think you are not able to see your drive because it is not as a new volume yet.

I think he not even able to see the drive in any of the migration tool. I think is because is not created as a new volume or unallocated drive.
