Updated ssd installed Catalina, then factory reset ssd missing
I upgraded ssd on my mbp then and installed Catalina. Used the system for a while and decided to give away system and processed a reset to factory restore system to give to family member. I erased the MacBook - data partition, then MacBook partition. They are defaulted as APFS. Now when I install MacOS, I cannot see the drive to install OS and disk utility doesn’t show it either to mount or reformat. How do I solve this? Please help.

Is this a good question?

Which SSD did you use for ugrading ?

Make sure you select show all drives / partitions on the top left in disk utility window and erase also the APFS container.
Personally I always erase the drives with Mac OS Journaled because that is what always works for me.
