Windows 10: Would it Be a Good Spending on a Samsung 500GB Sata SSD?

Right now my system config is as allows

Samsung M.2 970 Evo Plus (new for Christmas)
Former Boot Drive Samsung 860 Evo 250gb drive, (now a game drive, but kinda almost not enough room for the games, my options are uninstall a couple of the games, and move those to WD Black hard drive and run them off that, or purchasing a 500GB sized Sata SSD that i can afford, but then fun task of fiddling with this darn case to open front panel again, to get access to The Drive Cages in front of the case behind the front panel

Though kinda good deal for the 500GB 860 Evo right now for $54.99 at Newegg.com

((250gb i'd keep, and put it on one of the extra spots i got on case for 2.5 inch Sata drive, despite would have to run another sata data wire, and find another sata power cord if did that))

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
