Opensuse TW install can’t see drive

Hi guys, after some thinking, finally decided to jump on the Linux train and chose Opensuse TW, mainly for nostalgic reasons. I have an Acer Predator PT315-52, and wanted to dual boot it for now, just for safety reasons. I’m sure you all heard that before. However, when I get to the partitioning part of the installation, there are no drives other than the usb installer. The bios settings are limited, thanks to acer, I remember had more options on my pentium 1 computer back in the day. I would greatly appreciate any guidance, advice, instructions really and thank you all in advance.

Quick web search led me to this which is an Acer owner trying to install PopOS. Likely similar steps that you will need to follow to be successful.

Good luck. Fingers crossed it's your solution, and an easy one at that.
