Thank you for clearing that up. The info I needed to change bios to AHCI came from someone at Intel - I had said it was an nvme drive but maybe they were thinking sata drive :) .I'm still missing something here. You do not have a SATA drive connected. You only have an NVMe drive connected. AHCI applies ONLY to SATA! It is completely impossible to run an NVMe drive in AHCI mode. If you install a SATA drive, then, and only then, AHCI may become a factor.
You can run a SATA drive in IDE, AHCI or RAID mode. You can run NVMe in standard NVMe, Intel VMD, or RAID mode. You cannot run an NVMe drive in AHCI mode - it is completely impossible to do.
There is so much talk in this thread that is just impossible. Changing the software/drivers that are loaded onto the SSD will not effect whether the BIOS/UEFI firmware detects the SSD or not. You cannot enable AHCI mode for an NVMe SSD. The mode that you select for the NVMe SSD in BIOS (UEFI firmware) only determines the driver that Windows (or Linux) will need to access the SSD - whether Windows (or Linux) will need the standard NVMe driver (built-in to Windows), or the Intel IRST VMD driver, or the Intel IRST RAID driver. But AHCI will never work with an NVMe SSD.
Something is stopping the computer booting after in image installed to the nvme drive though.
