Windows 10 May 2004 setup hides UDF formated nvme disks as a install destination #51

This is maybe something for the Readme.md. Recently I tried to install a fresh copy of Windows 10 May 2004 on a nvme disk that was formated as UDF using "format-udf" and noticed that the installer wasn't able to detect a disk, even not a option for reformating/repartitioning. The same UDF formated nvme was previously working fine as a data disk (not boot nor system) in Windows 1909.

It will probably be available by Windows shell cli tools "diskpart", but the GUI installer hides UDF nvme and probably regular UDF disk probably because they mimic readonly optical disc media and those are also not a valid destinations for a Windows installation.

By running wipefs -a on ubuntu 20.04 I was able to get the nvme disk detected again by the Windows 10 installer.
