Hello, my ssd is appearing in the bios but isn't appearing in the folders. (I'm using windows 10 with my HDD as I was unable to install it with my ssd so I'm going to clone it when I get my ssd to work.

Why were you not able to install on the SSD...?

You should not be cloning windows.

Transfer windows from HDD to SSD  I meant

I connected the sata data and power cable and my pc can't identify it but the bios said "Kingston"

When you go in folders and click This pc > Devices and drives my SSD doesn't appear but my HDD does.

Try going into disk management, the drive may just need to be initialized.

I think I've found it, how do I initialize?

Don't transfer windows, do a clean install if you want to avoid issues.

Thanks! 

Also remember to have your HDD unplugged while doing it, or the windows install can screw up.
