Hi. I recently bought the LEGION Y520 and I wanted to put an SSD into it to really get all the juice out of this laptop.

I got this one: https://www.amazon.com.mx/Intel-SSD-S3110-256GB-Serial/dp/B074S8X5ZM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1528234947&sr=8-1&keywords=ssd+256+gb+m.2 but encountered some issues because my laptop won't recognize it. Windows won't, nor will BIOS. When I try to reinstall Windows 10, as I pick where I want to install it, the SSD is nowhere to be seen.

I wanted to know if this is solvable. If not, I wanna know if returning my SSD and ordering this one instead (https://www.amazon.com.mx/dp/B01MS6BYJD/ref=psdc_12005787011_t2_B01LYFKX41?th=1) would solve anything.

May be important: while trying to install Windows, I tried to take the HDD out in order to install it from scratch in the SSD, but I couldn't take it out cause a screw was like, really hard to take out and I was afraid I'd damage the laptop if I was too stubborn.
