The simplest way - install Ubuntu first
Hey there! I had a similar issue with my WD SN850x, but luckily, I found a workaround. When I couldn’t detect it in Disk Management or install Windows, I was getting worried about a broken SSD. However, I decided to try installing Ubuntu as you did, and surprisingly, it worked perfectly! After that, when I tried installing Windows again, the SSD showed up in the installer and Disk Management too. It’s strange, but at least it’s working now. So, if anyone else is facing this problem, try installing Ubuntu first, and then give Windows another shot. Hope this helps someone else out there!
