For this to work, all SATA drives and USB drives need to be removed or at least disconnected. To get it to do this, the old drive needs to be disconnected.
After doing some further research online, it seems that NVMe SSDs do not appear within the BIOS until Windows creates the system partition with the EFI boot sector.
Once done, rebooted, to see if the newly cloned SSD with Windows on it now would appear in BIOS.
The Samsung migration software (available on their website) will ask you which files you want to not copy if the “SOURCE” HDD has more data than the “TARGET” SSD. I have a 1TB HDD and a 250GB SSD, but since only about 170GB were being used on my HDD at that time, it was not a problem.
Cloned my existing HDD to the Samsung EVO 960 SSD.
First thing I did is install Samsung’s driver from their website for the SSD.
So, the hardware is properly connected and it is now at least visible.
Now Samsung Magician sees the drive, but Windows still doesn’t.
Checked Windows Disk Management, downloaded Samsung Magician (available on their website), checked File Explorer, the drive shows up nowhere.
Turned on computer, booted to see if it appeared in BIOS – nothing, only my old HDD.
ZIP file holds both the Magician software as well as the latest NVMe driver.Here’s what I did.
