So I installed a new Samsung Ssd 860 2b in my laptop which is a acer VX5-591G-5652.
It seems to appear in Bios but nothing in disk management.
Also it appears in storage pool??? What do I do??? please help.
The SATA data cable is perfectly fine and it also fit great but now even Samsung Magician doesnt recognize it. Trying to use as second storage for games.

If you want to clone the existing OS onto the new SSD, don't bother! Instead I'd suggest that you make sure your laptop is on the latest BIOS update, backup all critical content from your existing OS/drive onto a removable storage media and then using Windows Media Creation Tools, create your bootable installer and reinstall the OS onto SSD.
