can't install windows please help

Language translations and terms are not making sense to you.

Sata ssd is a 2.5" solid state drive and you questioned me saying try to install on a sata sdd

Frankly from your popos issues I never knew you were trying to install it on a m.2 ssd until now.
These are very different ssd types.
yes i plan on using the samsung 970 evo plus as my boot ssd does that change anything ?
 
Hi,
Difference is you need to use browse and install the samsung 970 evo plus driver manually so you can continue past the screen you posted already.

Sata 2.5" ssd you wouldn't need to do this part.

Put your usb 3 driver on the flash drive to.

i know but i want to use the nvme drive for windows
 
In the early days of Windows 10, I couldn't get windows 10 to install on some of my PCs so I just used another PC and moved the hard drive back.
 
Disconnect all hard drive’s but your m.2 put the w10 usb in a slot and restart machine. You will want to install to the only drive there. More or less follow instructions.

had already done that besides the problem starts as soon as i press the install button
 
Is the m.2 recognized in bios? Are there any options to modify specifically for the m.2?
In the windows installation start screen, can you press shift+f10 and use diskpart -> list disks
If you do that, is the m.2 displayd?

If it is, then find which number corresponds to it and do: sel disk NUMBER -> clean

Afterwards try to refresh the tab where drives should be displayed for windows installation.

if you are trying to install the latest version of win10, it will fail to find any drive to install to until you enable UEFI in the BIOS

Hi,
Installing on a m.2 has always been like that I believe, uefi only boot even the flash drive has to be uefi compatible.
