Nvme is main drive but install on separate internal SSD - how to get boot to EFI?

Support
1

I want to install Manjaro on my SSD that I installed. The computer has an nvme with Win 11 on it but I can’t find how to install the OS to the SSD and then the boot info to the EFI partition on the nvme.

Any ideas?

I have installed Mint because Mint’s installer has a separate pull down when choosing ESP partition. Manjaro would only allow me to look / chose whatever was on the SSD and the SSD doesn’t contain the EFI.
