I would like to dual boot ubuntu 20.10 alongside Windows 10 education. When I use the installer it only recognizes my secondary HDD as opposed to my primary SSD. enter image description here

I know that ubuntu recognizes that my ssd exists on the system because if I select that I want to create my own partitions it recognizes that the system has an ssd. enter image description here

I have seen questions that pointed to unrecognized drives being caused by secure boot or RAID mode. My bios settings say my system is in AHCI and I have disabled fast startup and secure boot so I do not believe these are the issues. I would prefer to not have to create the partitions myself as I am a newcomer to linux and would prefer the auto-installer I also do not want to use the HDD for performance reasons. Why isnt ubuntu recognizing my primary drive and how do get a dual boot functional on the SSD.

Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

Sorry dude I can't find specifics on it, But I think it might of been a problem I encountered when trying to format .and partition my windows 10 drive is I remember right. It wasn't allowing me to do it. I remember it taking me like 2 days of ok it failed, oh have to adjust another setting not mentioned. Sorry I'm not more help. I've tried looking it up.

I created a new partition with easeUS. Once I had done this and all the steps listed in the question I got an option when using the auto installer to use the free partition. The solution was just creating a free partition beforehand and letting ubuntu use it instead of make it.
