I just received my Samsung 990 Pro SSD yesterday and connected it to the m.2 port without any issues. However, I'm having a tough time getting it to work on Windows. When I try to add a volume and assign a drive letter, it takes forever and then tells me that the disk management console isn't up to date. Despite the SSD showing up in BIOS, disk management, and Samsung Magician, I can't see it in Windows Explorer. I was hoping to clone my old HDD boot drive to this SSD for better performance, but I'm stuck. Any advice?

First off, have you tried formatting the SSD through the storage device management? That might help. Sometimes it gets stuck and doesn't show up until it's formatted correctly. Just a heads up, if it throws an error like 'Unexpected error, check system event log,' that’s a sign something’s off with the formatting process. But definitely still give it a shot if you haven't already!
