Windows 10: I can’t find my WD ssd in boot option

Hi everyone, I try to install windows 11 boot from usb so far but it repeats multiple times to windows setup and can not go further to setup. I checked the boot option in BIOS that I can’t find the ssd drive in boot option #1, just my usb flash drive even I still can see it in SATA configuration. Every time restart, I press F8 to pick boot option, and there’s no ssd found. Hope someone can help?

Windows Install - Can’t find SSD driver

I’m trying to install Windows on an Asus Zenbook Q409. When I get to the step to select the storage device and partitions, there are no storage devices listed, but it gives the option to browse for drivers. I confirmed that the SSD is functioning as it is listed in both the UEFI and works fine in an Ubuntu live boot. The SSD is a WD SN 735. When I search for this SSD the closest result I get is a SN730. Where can I find the driver for the WD SN735?

I’ve tried this with both Windows 10 and 11 bootable USBs.

 

M.2 SSD isn’t showing as boot option

Here’s the problem. Last night I installed the WD BLUE SN550 NVMe SSD and installed windows on it and I launched the computer, reinstalled things and everything was great. However, I am looking to remove my other SSD which was my windows previously, as it
is causing a lot of problems so I was trying to set the M.2 SSD as a boot option. It does not appear in the boot options menu for the UEFI Bios Utility. This is what I need help with.

New SSD:

WD Blue SN550 NVMe SSD

Motherboard:

Asus TUF Z390-PLUS GAMING ATX Motherboard.
