Samsung 970 EVO M.2

[KREPTiiK]

Hello, I purchased a Samsung 970 M.2 SSD and it was delivered today.

I have put the SSD into the slot on my motherboard (Asus X99-S) without a problem.

But for some reason I can't find it within the computer. I can see it on my Samsung Magician software and also in my BIOS. But I can't see it in Explorer, which means I can't do anything with it.. (I want to move my OS over to it)

Can someone please help me. I have Googled around but don't seem to be able to find a solution to my problem.

Thanks.

EDIT - Not sure it helps, but I am using a i7-5820K and my MOBO is above^

I updated the BIOS to the latest version to see if it helped. But it's the same.

EDIT 2 - It is not shown under MSinfor32 > Storage > Drives. It only shows my other 3 connected drives. BUT it does show under "Disks"

It doesn't show in Explorer because it has no drive letter.

It shows in Samsung Magician? If so, then you can clone everything over to it. Assuming space requirements are met.

How do I assign it a letter? I don't see it in Disk Management neither.

It doesn't "need" or get a drive letter until after you do the migration thing.

But not appearing in Disk Management is a different problem. And much more concerning.

Can you post a screencap of your Disk Management and/or Samsung Magician?
