I purchased and installed a Samsung 850 EVO 500GB SSD. The Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD appears on the system information page in the BIOS, as well as disk management, device manager, and my PC. I went on the Samsung SSD driver troubleshooting​ page and tried every suggestion and came up with no solutions. Both the SSD and HDD show up as "Windows Boot Manager" in the Hard Disk Drive BBS Priorities, when selecting either one as the 1st or 2nd Boot. Even as the SSD as the 1st one in the boot order it still says, "Reboot and select a proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key" when I try to boot from it. It it a broken SSD, or is something wrong? I've tried switching sata ports and retrying to boot from it, updated my motherboard​ bios, and tried to go through other setting that forms said will solve the issue... Nevertheless nothing worked. Please help. Thank you for your time.

Build:
Motherboard: MSI Z97A SLI Krait Edition
CPU: Intel i7 4790k unlocked
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1080 Extreme
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 500gb
OS: Windows 10 Home x64
 
If I have both of the drives connected, but instead windows 10 is installed on the HDD, it will boot perfectly fine. This is my third time trying to get windows 10 to boot from my SSD because the two previous times I gave up and was just content with the slow boot with the HDD, but I giving this a third attempt and I'm really hoping to get it to work. The SSD is recognized on the boot list, but the problem still happens whenever I try to boot from it.
