Check BIOS settings first, make sure the storage controller you’ve got the SSD plugged into is enabled. Most will let you see if the drive is properly detected as well.
Could also be that the Windows installer does not contain the correct AHCI drivers for your platform; which chipset/SoC are you using? If this is the case, you’ll need to load the correct drivers manually during installation.

Can anyone think of why my old pc won't recognise an ssd?
I've tried multiple cable combinations, and more than one ssd. Pc boots to the windows installation USB but then can't find the ssd to install it to. Can't see it in bios either.
Am i missing something obvious?
