    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.

    :)

    Please suggest how I can install a fresh copy of the windows in my new SSD with the existing license. And please suggest how to activate the new installation of Windows.

    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

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

    Fresh install of Win10 to a new SSD after I already Upgraded to Win10 on an iffy HDD.

    I can't seem to get an answer on this.

    I did a free upgrade to Win10 Home from Win 7 Home Premium.

    I used the Windows Media creator (USB) to install after it failed twice by normal upgrade.

    I installed Win10 on a HDD that may be a little iffy, possibly why it took 3 tries.

    I would like to do a fresh install of Win10 on a 500 GBs SSD, due to the shaky nature of the HDD.

    I have the data backed up on a WD backup drive.

    Due to the iffy condition of the old HDD, I don't think a recovery or clone options are an option.

    I want to do a fresh install and re-install my programs on to the new SSD.

    How do I go about this?

    Running a Dell XPS Studio 7100, with Win7 pre-installed. Have a very old ( 2010 or 11) recovery backup on DVDs, but since Win10 is installed and working, I/d rather not go that way. Attempts to recreate Win7 recovery failed. (HDD problem???)

    Any time I tax the HDD (Defrag, Spinrite, Dell Disk check) the machine locks up.

    Tried to clone HD to SSD same thing, it locked up.
