Hi:
If you are trying to install Windows on the drive, you need to load the Intel storage controller drivers that I zipped up and attached below in order for Windows to find the drive.
Unzip the Intel storage controller driver file I attached and copy all of the files inside both folders in the F6 file to a USB flash drive.
Have the flash drive and your W10 installation media plugged into USB ports.
Boot from the W10 installation flash drive.
When you get to the screen where no drives can be found, click on the Load driver option, browse to the flash drive with the storage controller drivers on it.
If you check the box, it will only include the compatible driver.
Click Next, and Windows should find the drive and install.
