Okay so I`m confused and not sure what to do I just installed my m.2 ssd 970 evo to my ASUS Crosshair VI Hero motherboard correctly. I`ve been to bios directly it recognize from there but when going on Windows. it isn`t there.

 

my plan was to download firmware update for my M.2 SSD 970 EVO through samsung magician after that I was going to migrate stuff through.Samsung Data Migration

Initialize the disk, it should ask you what to do it as, choose GPT and then format it as NTFS.

Everything is exactly as it is supposed to be. New drives are always uninitialized. All you have to do is click OK on the last SS. Then format as NTFS (right click the block with the black bar above it and click format. Leave everything default but make sure it does a quick format.), it will then show up as a drive in explorer and you can migrate the data.
