[solved] ThinkPad T470 - Nvme drive not detected on 10.13

[angelus88]

Hello everyone,
I come here in peace asking for help

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T470 with a Nvme drive but this one is not showing during the installer.
I tried diskutil list from terminal during the installer with no luck. It shows just my usb drive.

If I install HighSierra on my external usb drive, it runs fine but still it's not showing my internal Nvme drive.

I thought it would have worked ootb.

Any ideas?

I'm attaching my EFI folder. Thank you!!
