Which enclosure do you have? If you right click on the Windows icon and choose Disk Management, does it show up in there?

You could try removing your current m.2 ssd and putting your new one in, and see if it shows up in the BIOS to check if it's an issue with the SSD or the enclosure
You might also be also to use the cloning tool to create an image of your drive then apply that image to your new SSD rather than directly cloning one to the other, so you don't need the enclosure

Creating a image??? What is that and how do you that??

It's normally a part of the cloning software you use, instead of cloning it to a drive you can clone it to a file (which will make an image of your drive) and then you can apply the image to your new SSD using the software

What software can I use to do that and is there a tutorial?

I believe Acronis and Macrium Reflect can do it (though you need a licence for it unless your SSD brand offers it for free), and there's probably other software out there which can also do it
Cloning would probably be easier - I would try your new SSD on its own and see if your BIOS detects it, if so then it's probably an issue with your enclosure, or if it still doesn't show in your BIOS then you could have a faulty SSD
