NUC Install Issues - nvme pcie drive

[Wirezfree]

@gold_finger

Thanks for all your help, unfortunately still the same issue. 
I had found the following "Intel nvme page" , and followed the check points, apart from point 4 , it all seemed to check out..??
I did this before your suggestions.
I think the clue maybe in the fact that whilst everything "appears" to checkout..??
If you look in "DISKS", the nvme drive is "not" in the disk section, it appears under "Other devices", see screenshot in an earlier post I dis.


Results from doing the checks on Intel Page:
