I'll try that. Do you think it matters that I had the SSD in with this Windows install, and I can just remove the HDD when I try to reinstall linux? Or should I start from scratch again?

Also, this is my first time using a M.2 SSD, I assumed it would just be like using a regular SSD, but I don't understand why even when I only had Windows installed it would only show up after fully shutting down and not when restarting. Is this normal behavior for a M.2 SSD, or did I mess it up when installing things, or did I maybe get a faulty drive?

If it were me, I'd start from scratch just to be absolutely sure. I'm no expert though. It would just nag at me the whole time that something is going to go wrong if I didn't redo the whole thing.

Regarding the M.2 drive, I can't give advice. I've only dealt with them once or twice when installing and they worked like any other drive. Nothing funny when shutting down or rebooting.
