Hello there,
Is the OS installed on the SSD?
Windows built-in tool does not help on format SSD with Windows operating system installed.
Disk Management can perform some simple disk and partition operations like create partition, delete partition, format partition, change drive letter, extend or shrink partition. So you can use Disk Management to format SSD on windows,which is very simple and you don’t need to install any third-party software.

Typically a new drive will prompt for initialize if it is unallocated (no partitions).
To use an unallocated drive choose either MBR or GPT.
Administrative command prompt:
diskpart
lis dis
sel dis N (change the drive number N to the number of the new disk drive)
clean
convert GPT
create par primary
sel par 1
format fs=fat32 quick
assign
exit
