    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

    Cloning problems with Samsung SSD 850 EVO

    Unable to clone a Samsung SSD 850 EVO on a newly upgraded Win10 machine. Samsung's cloning app does not see the drive, though Samsung's Magician software does (albeit grayed out).

    Formatted and mounted the drive in MS Disk Management; drive appears as E.

    (Already successfully cloned and installed an 850 on a different machine using Win8.1; then successfully upgraded to Win10, so I know what success looks like.)

    TIA,

    Sam

    problem installing windows 10 on Samsung EVO 850 SSD

    Can't Install Windows 10 onto Samsung 850 Evo SSD

    Specs: MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard

    Samsung 850 EVO SSD

    I just built my first computer and there is currently no OS installed. I have downloaded the Windows 10 Education Edition iso file and have a valid product key. I made a bootable usb by following Option 2 in this tutorial: Create Bootable USB Flash Drive to Install Windows 10.
    I get to Step 14 in this tutorial for performing a clean install: Clean Install Windows 10.
    After it tries to restart, it BSOD's and tells me to google this error: 0Xc000021A. I have disabled secure boot and fast boot. I don't know what to do from here, their suggestion is to disable driver signature enforcement but I don't know if that
    is actually my problem
