second 850 evo showing in bios/device manager but not in document folder.

[Howitz]

i just bought a new second ssd for my computer, i plugged it in and it shows in bios and device manager but i cant get it to show in the document folder to put stuff on it and use it, help?

Does it show up in Disk Managment?

You probably have to go to disk management and "initialize" the disk and give it a drive letter and all that.

so, does it matter the sata port they are plugged in my motherboard?

 

also, is there a way to just transfer my steam folder to the new ssd while deleting in on the former or can i just copy and delte afterwards?
