You need to format the drive to be able to use it.
I would use EaseUS partition master which is a free and really good tool for backing up and managing HDDs and SSDS, it has specific features for SSDs and will make it really easy to set it up!
Also if you partition it and use it as your C: drive make sure to have the C: partition fairly large as it's sometimes difficult to make it larger. You can format through Windows but it's a lot easier to use EaseUS (Even the name tells you how easy it is!). Best of luck, reply if you need any more help :)

Well try this:
In the start menu type disk management and you will get an option like create and format harddisk partitions.
Check whether your SSD drive is detected by the disk manager. If you see the SSD in the disk manager then just format it and you are ready to use it.
Cheers!
