Did you initiate and format the drive?

Is it being detected in the BIOS?

Are you planning to fresh install OS on it or clone the existing system partition?

right now the Windows OS is installed on the HDD. I just tried to check it on file explorer. I will be installing the OS on SSD later. but I was curious why I am not able to see it on windows explorer.

what I wanted to know is if my SSD is compatible with the motherboard

Open Run, enter "diskmgmt.msc" without the quotes. Do you see your SSD there?

Check in the device manager disk management

you need to create a partition table, and create a partition in order to see it on explorer : )
