- Easeus.com backup has a disk clone function that is Windows 10 (and down) compatible, and does not care what sort of drive is being cloned from and to. So when you say do a sector by sector clone from say drive 0 (C) to drive 2 (SSD) then the clone takes place regardless of the fact you are running a new version of Windows or using a USB to.
- Situations and fixes: Samsung 850 EVO not detected on Windows 10. In general, Samsung SSD cannot be detected on Windows when it has not been properly formatted, for example, wrong file system like EXT2 that cannot be recognized by Windows. In that case, you can reformat disk to FAT32 or NTFS.

Windows 10 Setup Not Detecting Ssd

I just got Samsung 840 Pro SSD, but my Windows 10 is not detecting it. Any idea what I should do?
I tried using the Samsung utility mentioned on their website at http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/minisite/SSD/global/html/support/downloads.htmlbut the software does not detect it and neither does Windows.

I had the same issue with 840 pro. I contacted Samsung about it, and their response was to use windows 7 or 8.1
I wish I could be more help, but they haven't released compatible software yet.

I went around these problems a lot of times, trying different cables, boxes and bios configurations.
In the end, I found that http://www.easeus.com/backup-software/tb-free.html fixed the problem - just ignore the Samsung software until it works with Windows 10.

Run EasyUS and select disk clone, select the source drive/volume (usually 0) and destination (could be 1, 2 or 3 depending on whether you have a cdrom and other drives installed). Please note I did a sector by sector copy (may not have been necessary, but I wanted to make sure it worked).
The EasyUS clone takes place regardless of the fact you are running a new version of Windows or using a USB to SATA controller that is not supported by the Samsung software. Just make sure you choose the right disks (don't erase your C drive with a blank SSD!)
For Windows 10, I found that in addition to this I had to make sure my BIOS was set to force AHCI mode - just making it optional didn't work.
So far this has worked on Samsung Chronus and Sony Vaio laptops (mine and my wife's).
ps - I have absolutely nothing to do with this company, I just got fed up with waiting for a version of Magician or Data Migration that worked all of the time (and the above software works free, although I suspect the paid version might be quicker)

Open
cmd.exe
as admin - write diskpart
and then enter list disk
. Do you see your drive? Also check if you have SATA port enabled in BIOS.
You might also try a live Linux distribution; Ubuntu 15.04 for example if you can see your drive there.

I have a problem with a SSD (Crucial BX100) bought last week and Windows 10 install.
When I try to install Windows 10, the installation software don't recognize my SSD, I have a same windows as this one :
I can see the SSD from the BIOS without any trouble.
I also tried two different things : Without changing anything in the configuration of the computer I tried to install a Windows 8.1 instead of a Windows 10, I didn't had any trouble, the install software saw my SSD and I could succesfully install Windows 8.1, so my SSD is correctly plugged to the motherboard and its BIOS configuration is ok.
I tried also to put the SSD on another computer and install Windows 10 on it, it worked without any issue, so my bootable Windows 10 key is ok too.
So, what could prevents me from installing Windows 10 especially on this computer particularly ?
The motherboard is an ASROCK AliveSATA2-GLAN if it can be useful.
EDIT : I tried what as suggested by Keltari and joro, I downloaded drivers from the link of Keltari and also from the motherboard website and tried to load them during Windows installation, and it didn't worked, only one of these drivers was recognized by Windows installer as a compatible driver but id didn't worked.
In his comment, qasdfdsaq spoke about the different SATA connectors of the motherboard. I have 4 SATA connector on my motherboard (2 * JMB363 and 2 * VT8237A) .I was previously using the JMB363 SATA controller (a SATA 2 controller), I tried to use the other one (a SATA 1 controller) and it worked, I succeed to install Windows 10. But I have now two problems :
- I tried to install the JMB363 driver (from Windows 10, not from Windows installer), and it doesn't work, so I can't use the JMB363 SATA controller again, so my SSD works on a SATA 1 controller..
- The network driver is missing and I can't install the driver from the motherboard website (the driver's installer software say my material isn't compatible). Faststone screen capture last free version.

Windows 10 does not have the driver for the SATA controller. You can download the driver here. Unzip that to a USB stick and when you click 'Load Driver' select the appropriate driver and you should be good to go.

You need drivers for the SATA controller, not for SSD. Check AsRock site for them.

I had similar problem with Crucial BX330 on ASUS A88XM-Plus this week.
I have a multi boot win10/ubuntu system and when i installed SSD as secondary drive, then win10 and BIOS (!) could not recognize the new SSD but ubuntu could. After Bios upgrade, SATA drivers for win10 nothing changed. When i checked ubuntu log i saw that SATA link 6.0 Gbps failed for this drive and finally SSD connected with 3.0 Gbps link.So I changed BIOS SATA configuration to 3.0 Gbps and after that win10 can see the disk (bios also).
Try to slow down the SATA speed or replace components

What works for me was to format ssd into fat32 instead of NTFS. Best free genealogy software downloads. I used Gparted iso to format it in fat32 and then finnaly win10 instaler was able to see my new ssd :)
