I got a SATA cable recently and installed it to use my Samsung 850 EVO SSD but when I open up the folder for this PC its not showing up what am I doing wrong or am I just stupid and not realizing something?

Is it brand new? You'll need to format is. Go right click on with windows icon on the bottom left, once you've done that you'll get a menu look for "disk management" and there you'll create the new volume
