Installing 970 Evo 250gb

So I just got this, and I want to know that I am doing everything correctly in my mind. I still have yet to obviously install it, hence I wouldn't be here asking for help.

1. Install it physically into the motherboard

2. Make sure it exists in BIOS

3. Open samsung magician and transfer windows? ( I don't know if this is possible or not. )

4. Happily ever after?

I don't know if this is right, if anyone could correct me, but I would like to transfer windows and some games, hopefully without redownloading everything because my internet would take an estimated 4 days 23 hours 18 minutes 16 seconds (thanks to downloadtimecalc)  to download 750gb of stuff that is already on it.

alright how exactly would one go to do that, i dont have any extra drives..

then it's going to be hard to back up, especially with that internet speed... you could take the risk with doing it without backup, but that's on your own risk
