    Installation of Win10 on new SSD - Driver missing


    I have an Acer Aspire 5 with Win10 with two hardware slots. In the M2 slot I now installed a 2TB SSD, formated is and made an partition of 50GB NTFS for Win10.I used the Windows Installation tool to create an USB stick with Win10. Starting the Laptop with the USB stick the installation starts, but stuck with the message "driver missing" and I should give him a medium with driver. I don't have any, but on the original HDD with Win10 should be everything available.How can I proceed?

    :)

    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

    Installation of Win10 on new SSD - Driver missing

    Looking for tutorial for fresh install of win10 home on new ssd

    I looked over the tutorial for custom installation of win 10 but it had many steps about microsoft accounts that I'm not sure are applicable to me.

    I have a new pc with a brand new ssd (sata) and I have made a bootable usb drive with win10 installation files on it.

    I'd like to use a step by step guide of how to install the os, including if I need to format the ssd and whether I need to do anything special during the installation in order to be able to boot in UEFI bios.
