If this happens:
-Open Computer Management.
-Go to "Storage," and then "Disk Management."
-When Disk Management opens, a pop-up should appear and prompt you to initialize the SSD.
Select MBR (Master Boot Record) and click OK
-Where the SSD appears (the name should show as a model number; a mix of letters and numbers), right-click on the section that shows the "black bar" and says "unallocated." (ONLY the unallocated one should be chosen).
+DO NOT right-click the smaller gray box on the far left; it is not the "target." Only right-click the "unallocated" box that has a black bar above it.
-The New Simple Volume Wizard will open, click Next.
-Leave the Specify Volume Size as the maximum (default value) and click Next-
-Select a Drive Letter and click Next.
-In the Format Partition screen, decide on a Volume label (the name you want to give the drive) and click Next.
(end)
-I hope this will help you.
The new SSD replaced the HDD in my laptop, which now boots up 5 times faster. It's a powerful gaming computer and some games which take 3 minutes to load now do it 5 times faster! Love this SSD!
I am here cutting and pasting some info from Avsim forum (a flight simulator forum) which helped me:
I'm posting this so a forum search by someone may help them install a SSD in their system.
Having changed my Windows system and FSX installations from HDD to SSD the speed increase is tremendous in: 1) system reboot and 2) booting up a new flight in new location with heavy scenery.
Here's the web place that goes through how to do the HDD to SSD upgrade painlessly:
How to Migrate Your Windows Installation to a Solid-State Drive by Matt Klein
Google Search the line above, Amazon does not allow direct links in reviews.
====================
First, make a Windows recovery drive (takes 3 or 4 minutes):
Windows recovery drive: you will need a dedicated USB thumb drive to make it. I needed one badly it turned out and had one all ready. So buy a cheap USB thumb drive (any size) when you buy the SSD.
1) First boot the system into BIOS and make sure the system boot choices include a USB drive and the computers hard drive. You need to make sure the system will boot from a USB drive or you can't use the recovery drive which is on the USB thumbstick.
2) To make the recovery drive follow the links from Klein's article above to do that. Different links for Windows 7, 8, and 10 in his article.
==================================
I had the following 3 problems not mentioned there, here's how they were solved (thanks to Samsung online chat tech help).
The new SSD did not show up in Windows explorer:
There were two reasons for this:
1) I had the SSD plugged into a USB3 port, it turns out a new SSD often needs a USB2 port. (For a similar reason that when booting up to BIOS, instead Windows, you may need to use an USB2 port for the mouse or keyboard, not USB3, or BIOS might not see it).
2) The new SSD was not initialized in Windows Disk Management. Some SSD's do not require this, mine did (Samsung EVO850 SSD). Otherwise Windows and the computer will not see the new SSD drive.
In order to initialize the new SSD disc you run diskmgmt.msc
Windows 8.1: type WindowsKey + R or from the desktop open the Start button and type in diskmgmt.msc
Windows 10: simply right click the start button and Disk Management is a shortcut to choose
Click open diskmgmt.msc
the new SSD drive icon is going to say unallocated, Now you right click on it and select, “new simple volume”.
This basically takes you through a Windows wizard which prompts to format the unit properly to get the drive recognizing in windows explorer and disk management properly as a healthy partition. This is the initialization process and only takes a minute to do.
3) After following all the steps on Kleins page to clone the HDD image to the SSD, I removed the HDD from laptop and plugged in the new SSD there. The system would not boot ! :(
Here's where the Windows recovery drive (on the USB thumbstick) saved the day. Just turn off the laptop with its power button, insert USB thumbstick you made the recovery drive on and boot. There will now be listed choices from what to boot Windows from: A USB drive, the new SSD, and maybe other choices. Choose the new SSD drive and Windows booted up fine.
From then on, the recovery drive thumbstick will not be needed to use the computer, but keep it in a safe place, and label it for what it is. No other files should ever be added onto that thumbstick.

Previously resource consuming apps like antivirus used to take time to load, but now the apps load quickly.
A must buy, if you need a fast and smooth running PC
Make sure you connect the SSD to a SATA 6.0 (6GBps) port to get the best performance.
I have attached images comparing the speeds of my SSD and HDD using the UserBenchmark and CrystalDiskMark softwares.

Don't buy an EVO. Look up benchmark reviews. Dollar to speed, I think the crucial drives are a better option, and their warranty isn't worthless.
One thing to make sure you do before you start. Create a Windows Recovery Drive (on a USB stick) using the standard Windows "Create Recovery Drive" utility. In my case, a Windows 10 Creator Edition 64bit Recovery Drive. For whatever reason, after the cloning operation and replacing the HHD with the new SSD, my machine wouldn't boot from the SSD. Windows said there was a problem with the boot device. I inserted my Windows Recovery Drive (changed the BIOS to boot from the USB drive) and booted the Windows Recovery Drive. There is an option under advanced troubleshooting to repair the C: disk drive (our new SSD). After a couple of minutes, the repair function finished. Not sure what it repaired, but booting the SSD now worked perfectly and has been performing beautifully from then on. In my opinion about 10 times faster than the HHD.
Price: $$$/5 – Above average price for an SSD. Samsung DOES NOT cover warranty if bought through Amazon, so I recommend getting it on Best Buy, Newegg, Samsung site or in-store.
Ease of use: 5/5 – Very easy to install.
Quality: 4/5 – Seems well built; the plastic casing is high quality and the speed is superb.
Design: 5/5 – The design is good; mounting is well positioned, and the form factor is sleek.
Packaging: 4/5 – Nothing special.
Strengths – Well designed, High quality
Weaknesses – No warranty if bought through amazon
Worth the money? – It depends, while it is tempting to get it on amazon it isn’t worth it because of the lack of warranty but it is definitely worth it if you purchase it elsewhere.
Summary: 4.4/5 - Overall, I would recommend getting this SSD only if you buy it from somewhere other than Amazon. It has a price point that is above average for an SSD but in my opinion, is worth the extra dollars because of the quality. It is rather unfortunate that Samsung doesn’t support the warranty if bought through amazon as there can be some great lightning deals on this product. The SSD is very quick and easy to setup with a nice slim form factor. It also has blazing fast read/write speeds.
Thank you for taking the time to read my review and I hope it helps you!!
