Update:
After a long furious battle with impotent rage I have solved the issue. The bios update fried my SSD. I replaced my NVMe SSD with a new one I had for my failed PC build from Dark Hero Motherboard coming faulty in the mail and (after frustration of it not showing up in Windows installation boot) I finally got everything to show by running the intel rapid storage drivers via external thumbdrive. Only 1 of the SSD's showed, the other one wouldnt. After installing windows and pulling out the one which came with the laptop, it still boots.
Conclusion: The SSD which came with the laptop got fried somehow by the BIOS update and i had to replace it with my own. My only issue which still remains from out of the box is how slow it boots up to even the bios logo and onto windows. You would think it is a laptop from 2002
Same as the previous colleague, if it is still under warranty, you could take it, clearly with the whole drive, out of your ssd. On the other hand, if it is not under warranty, you could check where is the short of the m.2 board and in case it is not the emmc memory chip or similar, you could change the component that is giving short power. If there is no power short then the problem is in the ssd boot. This usually happens when the internal boards of the chip are corrupted by anything. In that case, it remains to go into the chip and replace the corrupted board with a new one. There are some softwares out there that have databases of all these chips, to which I do not recommend to download and use without the necessary knowledge, related tools. After all it is not so simple, and on the other hand I am only informing you about the existence of software and chip databases as a help, so you are free to do what you want.
