Ok so i just got a new SSD (samsung 840 evo 250gb) but i never installed a ssd before, i thought i would just plug into my desktop and install windows 8.1 from my cd. but when i read the instructions that came with the drive, it shows me plugin it in with a sata to usb adapter to install some software on it first. the SSD i got comes with no adapters or anything so how can i plug in the drive to install the software first.
I just want to make sure im right so i don't mess anything up. the way i thought i would do it is just plug in the drive normally and go to disk management to assign it a drive letter then install the software then boot into bios and install windows. Is this the right way or the wrong way?
Thanks for the help
