Windows does NOT see the HDD when trying to build  

check your BIOS settings for the following parameters:
* SATA configuration -> Enhanced
* Configure SATA -> AHCI

Yes the SSD is recognized the BIOS

It's a 2.5inch SSD

If in disk part it is listed do I need to do anything? Eg can I format it?

By windows set up screen do you mean where I choose whether it's an upgrade or custom install or the next screen after I choose custom install?

Boot from the Windows installation USB flash drive. At the very first screen where it asks for language and keyboard, press Shift + F10. On a laptop you may need to press Shift + Fn + F10. That will open a command prompt window. Then:
diskpart
list disk

If the disk shows up, you are good to go just exit, exit to get back to setup.

If the disk does not show up, then you will either need to change bios settings (most likely from RAID to AHCI) or you will need to load a driver. To load the driver, again it is exit, exit to get back to setup. Go through and select Custom Install. On the next screen where the drives and partitions should be listed, but is blank, that is where you would load the driver (probably Intel RST or the Dell RAID driver), then the drive should appear.

It does not matter if the previous Windows installation was working on the existing BIOS settings or not because you are not booting into the existing Windows, you are booting into Windows setup.

Thank you so much I will try and report back

Drive is not listed

When I went into the HP bios I cannot see anything to do with storage and Sata

This laptop also only has 1 USB port which is USB c so I tried earlier to find a storage driver for this laptop. I placed it in a folder on the same USB stick as the W10 install called drivers but when I navigated to it windows didn't see any drivers?

You need to go through setup to the screen that shows Drives and Partition, which will be empty. Then on the bottom is a button to add drivers. Click on that and go to USB flash drive drivers folder and look in the subfolders for the driver.

I did just that and when I navigate to the folder, which contains an exe file it gives me the following message

No signed device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, then click ok

You cannot use the .EXE version of the driver. You need to use another computer to extract the drivers using a program such as 7-zip or find the .zip version of the drivers which is easier to extract.

Ah OK so I can just extract the exe into its containing files?
