So I've got a Samsung 850 Pro 512Gb SSD, plugged it in to a 6Gb/s port with 6gb/s cable, connected power (in the slave position, but this shouldn't affect the software issue) and installed Samsung's Data Migration and Magician software. I was advised by Samsung help (which wasn't overly helpful) to go into Disk Management, when I did it said I need to initialise the disk with either MBR or GPT formatting schemes. After investigation, I chose GPT as I have Windows 10.
Since then, nothing has changed; I've checked the BIOS and the SSD isn't even a boot option (only HDD and DVD Drive), Magician says it recognises it, but I'm not sure if it's just pre-installed to reflect what is *should* see and I can't see it in any file explorer or disk management (that I know of).
One more thing, because my HDD is 1Tb I don't want to be transferring all data to the SSD: there wouldn't be enough room. Ideally, I want my OS on there and then games, but I can transfer those at a later stage.
Can anybody please help me?
Thanks in advance,
- Martin
