Boot doesn't detect drives for SSD.

Hello!

I purchased a Dell Inspiron 7567 yesterday, and had nothing but troubles ever since. I tried swapping the Toshiba SSHD with which it came with an Intel 530 SSD. From the boot menu it doesn't recognize the disks, so installing windows can't be done. I tried using it in legacy mode with an MBR formatted USB (Because the SSD was originally formatted to MBR). I tried swapping the system from MBR to GPT from the cmd, switched out the USB to GPT as well, changed the bios to UEFI, nothing changes. I tried installing windows on a different machine, there it worked like a charm. In few cases the boot menu saw two partitions but every time I tried to delete them and create new ones it said that access is denied. 

Finally I installed windows on the SSHD with which the laptop came, but this really isnt an option.

I will go through what I have done, if that may help anyone who has an idea.

- Tried to install through MBR in Legacy mode without secure boot

- Tried to install through GPT in UEFI mode with and without secure boot

- Updated the SSD's firmware

- Updated the bios firmware (through the toshiba SSHD)

- Tried installing windows on a different machine, there it worked, but when I put the SSD back in the Inspron it freezes on the DELL logo on intial boot.

- Tried downloading the SSD's drivers through intel's website, and tried pressing "Load Drivers" in the partition selection of windows install (After working for a bit it says that it didn't detect drivers and that there still is no disk detected.)

I'm honestly running out of ideas.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What mode is the system set for (RAID or AHCI)?
