Disk Controller Error on installing Win 10 on SSD

I have been trying to install windows on my new SSD (Crucial BX500 240GB). Its giving an error saying - :

Windows cannot be installed on this disk.This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk .Ensure that disk controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu. 

I am using a MSI B450M with Ryzen 5 3400G

Sorry for bad quality.

Hi MetalBoi

I am Dave, an Independent Advisor, I will help you with this . . .

Did you connect that SSD to the same SATA port as the original drive was connected to?

Boot into BIOS, do you have UEFI BIOS or Legacy BIOS?

On the Security Tab, look for a Secure / Safe Boot option and disable that option

Check that SATA Mode is set to AHCI

Then, try starting the installation again

On that new drive you are trying to install Windows 10 onto, is there already a partition created, or is that drive marked as unallocated?

Hi MetalBoi

In the installation process there is a window that shows the partitions on that disk, please provide a photo of that screen . . .

When you say your BIOS is Legacy, is it only legacy with no UEFI settings, or have you chosen that option in BIOS?
