Installing Samsung 850 without SATA to USB cable

[Estoile]

Hello, so I just built my first PC. I'm trying to install windows 10 via disc drive but it's asking me what drive I want to install it on. I take out the windows 10 disc , pop the disc in for the SSD and it just fails to run the setup. It shows an icon of a folder. Clicked the folder. Tried to search for the "drive" and it fails. Is there a way to do this without that SATA to USB as well?

Your post is a bit confusing.

1. Why are you even mentioning a "SATA to USB" adapter cable here? You've obviously built a desktop PC, right? So you can install the desired boot drive, i.e., your SSD, internally in the desktop case, can't you? What does that adapter cable have to do with anything?

2. So I take it you're using the Windows 10 DVD installation disk to install the OS onto the SSD, right?

3. So the SSD and the installation DVD are the ONLY two drives installed at this time, right? No other drives, right?

4. I'm assuming the SSD is a "virgin" drive, right? No OS or other data on that drive, right?

5. So when you power-on the PC does the system boot directly to the Win 10 Setup?

6. If that's not the case, during the boot access the boot options menu by pressing the appropriate F key (as determined by your motherboard - see your user manual if you don't know it), and select the Win 10 DVD installation disk to boot to.

If you want any further info or clarification from me please answer my questions CLEARLY & PRECISELY.

Sorry ! Ignore my post. I did some magic and it worked. I do not know what I did but it worked 😀 Thanks anyways! Do you know how to delete a post ? so I can just put this thread in a dark corner.

I really don't know how to delete a post, i.e., the thread. I'm not that conversant with the forum's formatting and the like. Perhaps someone who is will comment.
