ESXi running on USB but not installing on hard drive

I'm trying to get ESXi up and running on my NUC device.

It appears to boot but the process is fairly lengthy, like around 2 to 4 minutes.

Once I see the "running" screen, it shows me what IP address I can manage it from but it never actually installs on the hard drive of the NUC, it only runs on the USB stick I configured using Rufus from the .iso I downloaded.

I remember installing ESXi a number of months ago, but it was on different hardware.

Booting into BIOS shows an internal hard drive and the USB stick so I'm confused as to why it seems to be running as a "live" system.

Can someone point me to what is going on here?

Thanks in advance.
