I have a MSI GT72VR 7RE Dominator Pro and I am trying to upgrade the M.2 SSD to a 1tb one. So I bought this m.2 card
SAMSUNG 850 EVO M.2 2280 1TB SATA III 3-D Vertical Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-N5E1T0BW

and this external casing ...

when I hook it all together the blue light comes on on the external casing but never loads or anything on windows 10, maybe there not compatible with each other? I am new with m.2 drives.
I just bought this external casing last night and get it tomorrow
