Based on the specs, your notebook should support a NVMe SSD since it has an AMD Ryzen™ 3 3250U processor.

 

Did you install Windows on the new SSD? 

 

Drives don't come with operating systems on them.

 

Even if the SSD doesn't show up in the BIOS that doesn't necessarily mean it isn't working.

 

Leave the hard drive disconnected and try to install Windows on the SSD.

 

Have the Windows installation media plugged into the notebook's USB port.

 

To boot from the W10 installation media, turn on or restart the PC.

 

Immediately tap the ESC key to get the menu of options.

 

Select the F9 boot options menu and from that, select the USB flash drive and press the Enter key.

 

The PC should boot from the USB flash drive and if everything is working properly, Windows should find the NVMe SSD and install.
