Windows Can't See Storage Pool

Windows 10 pro, just installed. Version 20H2. (Updates not yet started.)
Two RAID 1 arrays created in BIOS
MB: X570 AORUS Ultra, BIOS date Dec. 2019

I just installed Win10 Pro on the first RAID 1 (two M.2 drives). Windows cannot see the larger RAID 1 (SATA) I'd planned to use for data. Storage Spaces can see it and let me create a storage space on it, and it looks good there.

PROBLEM: Windows cannot see this array/storage space. Neither does it show in Disk Management.

Any ideas? Thanks!

    Hi,

    After creating the storage space, have you created virtual disk and assign driver letter for the disk, if yes, we'd see the storage space in disk manager like below:

    I noticed you haven't updated the machine, please try to update it, if after updating, the storage pool still not appear, please try to receate the storage pool, check if it could work.

    Thanks for your time!
    Best Regards,
    Anne
