even though it had shipped with windows, the installer would not detect my ssd for whatever reason.

bios probably defaulted to using a storage mode (like 'raid' or intel's rst) that requires 'f6' drivers loaded during windows setup. solution would have been to either find those drivers or switch bios to 'normal' ahci mode.

Oh is that what it was? Well, that's helpful to know, thanks! Though it turned out to be a blessing because it forced me to make the jump to linux and now I would hate to go back anyways...
