Currently installed in a laptop drive toshiba kbg30zmv256g
I install a new ssd m2 drive (Apacer AP512GAS2280P4X) into the laptop and the BIOS says that the disk is missing. At the same time, the Windows installer sees the disk, and allows it to be partitioned and the OS installed, but then the laptop reboots and everything repeats.
The disk was installed in another PC and there were no problems with starting

It is a compatible drive.
You will need to run a clean command in the DiskPart utility to remove the SSD drive's former configuration.
The command prompt can be accessed during the install process at any time by pressing shift+F10 and then type diskpart.
Diskpart takes a few minutes to invoke. Wait for it and then type clean.
Once that is done, you can create a volume, format it and add a drive letter.
If you need further help with that just let me know and I can explain how it is done.

I did it, it didn’t help, Win10 was installed, the laptop rebooted and again this window.before and after installation
If you look at the disk, you can see that partitions have been created and the OS is taking up some space there. However, the laptop denies the presence of a disk in it.

YOU might have to try cloning it to the new drive.
You will need an USB M.2 external adapter to do this and a cloning program.
Just search in your favorite search engine online using USB M.2 external adapter as the keywords. The adapters are relatively inexpensive and as low as about $13.00 USD. I have no idea as to what the price in Belarus will be.
I did happen to upgrade the boot disk on my desktop PC today to one twice the capacity of the old one.
I used EaseUS partition manager to perform the cloning.
I used the paid version and it took about 20 minutes to complete.
I tend to use mainstream SSD brands to avoid the issues such as those you are facing.
