MSATA to M.2

Hey guys, so I'm assuming that someone here knows a little bit more about this than I do. So I had a Lenovo ThinkPad T530, and I had a MSATA 250gb Samsung Evo SSD

 

(http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-850-mSATA-2-Inch-MZ-M5E250BW/dp/B00TGIVTP2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1448249210&sr=8-1&keywords=msata+samsung)

 

I just bought a MSI GE62 Apache Pro and it only uses M.2, and I want to use my SSD. I bought this adapter

 

(http://www.amazon.com/SMAKN%C2%AE-MSATA-converted-interface-Adapter/dp/B00XX4DM6Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1448249536&sr=8-1&keywords=msata+to+m.2)

 

and when I plugged everything in it didn't work. I tried all 3 of my M.2 ports. Is this even possible because m.2 is a PCIe thing and it won't convert to SATA? Or is there a simple solution that I'm just not seeing?

 

Thanks!

M.2 can be either PCIe or SATA. Your's could just be PCIe.

Yours is SATA interfaced.
