    Just for a reference, this is my latest Notebook, the EVO 1TB NVMe drive is in a Sabrent USB case for storage [not bootable]:

    Not all M.2 disks are NVMe disks and run in MBR-mode. The controller on all new NVMe disks need UEFI.

    I chose GPT instead of MBR for the Initializing and NTFS for the formatting as I wanted it only for storage so UEFI wasn't needed. I could have used exFAT for the formatting but don't have a Mac computer.

    Your booting from disk 1 not disk 0 swap cable so the boot drive is 0 best practice disk 0 has a logical drive which is very old and bad as you can loose a lot of data with it.
    AS your drive 0 is also set as active that can give problems as windows may try and boot to that set disk 0 to inactive Remove active flag from a partition in Windows | Support Seagate US
    disk 1 is the new M.2 drive and disk 0 is a SATA drive and is just used to back up my kids gaming data and has lots of old photos and family videos on on it. Can i make disk 0 inactive?

    Might be able to Disable it in Device Management when not needed then reenable when wanting to use it.
