Update - after posting and before anyone responded, I did some additional research and found instructions to use the Disk Management portion of Windows 11. There I saw the second disk and through the program, I was able to enable and format the drive. I now have both the factory drive (C: drive) the new drive (D: drive). I now have access to both drives and all is well. Thank you for your assistance everyone. 
Hello everyone, Last Saturday, 10/23/21, I went to my local Best Buy and after some contemplation, I purchased a new Alienware m17 R4 from them. It came with 16 Gig ram and 1TB of M.2 memory. I thought that would be sufficient for my needs. Except however, when I went to download Call of Duty, it wants to take up 1/4 of my drive. Solution - add a second M.2 SSD to my computer.  Today I added the new M.2 SSD. specifically an Inland 2TB - 3400 MB/S read speed, 3000 MB/S write speed. I asked the gentleman at Micro Center if this would work and he told me yes. I came home and installed the new drive and when I go into the BIOS portion, the BIOS sees the new drive. However, when I boot into Windows 11, Windows doesn't see the new drive.  I assume I may have missed a step somewhere, but I would appreciate any assistance. 
m17 R4, second SSD, Windows 11 not seeing new drive
