Windows 10: Windows 10 Installation on a Samsung SSD Issue

Hello,


I recently bought a 1 TB Samsung SSD, and I have wanted to install Windows on it. However, the problem persists that the installation resets after rebooting the computer. So, the installation never completes fully. I have tried using Rufus and installing the ISO onto there, and yet the problem persists. I have also tried changing the boot order so that it always boots off of the USB, however the installation still resets. I was just wondering what the fix to this issue was, since I know that it exists. Some other things I have tried:


- Cleaning the SSD completely and deleting the volume, so that all the memory is Unallocated.

- Making sure that the SSD is set to GPT and setting the Bootable USB like that as well.

- Used CMD to clean the disk completely to ensure that there are no problems with it.


I feel like it's also worth mentioning that my computer had a very hard time detecting the SSD in the installation media creation tool, however I managed to get that fixed.

I'm sure the problem lies somewhere between the BIOS and the USB bootable stick, but I am not entirely sure. If I need to post additional info, I'd gladly do so. Thanks a bunch for the answer!

:)

 

Win10 clean install on Samsung SSD 850 EVO

BLUF: SSD is not listed ubder "Where do you want to install Windows?"

Steps Complete:

1. I've create a Win10 bootable install usb.

2. I connect the new Samsung SSD 850 EVO via SATA.

3. I reboot PC and verify SSD is seen by the motherboard/BIOS

4. Begin Win10 install via usb.

5. Get to "Where do you want to install Windows?" and the SSD is not listed

Problems:

1. Samsung does not offer a driver for the 850 on their website

2. Cannot locate driver elsewhere

Unsuccessful Mitigations Steps Attempt:

A. Format & partition SSD via Windows Disk Management, then retried steps 1-5 above....same result

B. Clone existing HHD onto SSD via "Image for Windows" by TeraByte, then verified SSD contents via Windows Explorer....similar result

Can you please offer some advice on locating a driver for a Samsung SSD 850 EVO 1TB drive? Or an alternative method?

Thank you

 

New install Windows 10 (issue solved)

It's good that you're not experiencing any issues. Unfortunately many folks are, a quick Google search will show the same info im offering the OP.

Heres a couple examples:

It's basically what I mentioned above, small issues here and there ,but nothing to end your day.. for the most part.

I know it's anecdotal, but for my experience 95% of the time it's perfectly fine. The issues I've run into wouldn't be enough for me to roll back , but they would be enough (had I not installed it yet) ,to avoid it for another couple weeks which is why I'm suggesting it to the OP
