SSD not being registered

[PConsolesRock]

So I have an 850 evo that is not being registered by my pc. I first plugged it in by USB 3.0 and the magician sotware registered the brand of the interface I used to connect the ssd but not the ssd. So I opened the pc and installed it via SATA. The magician software now recognizes the samsung ssd but my pc still doesnt show up the drive. Any help? I attached a pic of my problem.

Try opening computer management -> disk management, the SSD may just need to be initialized.

format it in disk management

You have to go to disk management and format it for windows to recognize it as a lettered drive.

As other have said. I'm just going to add more steps in case you need them.

Start, type "disk management", top result should be it.

Once it opens it might prompt you to format the drive as MBR or GPT. Pick GPT.

There will be a black bar that matches the drive you wish to use in the middle of the screen.

Right click to select it then left click to open the menu. Choose new simple volume.

Follow the onscreen wizard leaving most of the defaults. You might want to assign it a different name besides New Volume when it asks for drive label. You DO want to assign it a drive letter when it asks you for that. Any letter will do as long as that letter isn't already in use.
