If one of them are detected and not the other, take out the cable of the one that works and swap it with the one that doesn't.
Now does it see it?
Use the other SATA connectors one at a time on each HDD
Make sure its not a faulty Sata cable, as that can happen.
You should have at least 4 SATA's on your motherboard, try them all.
If the HDD still doesn't get detected in BIOS then it's probably died a death. Which is why I always recommend Hard Disk Sentinel to monitor hard disks

I was able to transfer my Windows directory and boot from a hard drive to a SSD, so if I can do it I'm sure you can to. I even used freeware to do the transfer though I had to try 3-4 different ones and did some experimenting with the settings before I had success, it only took a few hours.

I think Samsung (magician) comes with Mitigation software, but whatever the case, the old hard disk has to have LESS information on it than the new one.

EG if your old hard disk is 1TB and you used 300GB, and your new SSD is 256GB you can't migrate it because you are over the SSD size. There are ways around this, extra partition on your 1TB move everything across (if you have space).

Otherwise its time to reinstall windows 10 new on the SSD once it's plugged in.

Remove the cover, put it in the top slot 1
boot up with USB (normally I disconnect old hard disk SATA cable, so it doesn't get confused)
install on new SSD

A clean install should be easy but you will need you original Windows media. If it is OEM it should be okay because you have the same motherboard your just changing the boot drive. As to which M.2 port to use I'm not sure I've never used a M.2 but I would probably use the top one to give it more air flow to keep it cooler. I'm sure there are some YouTube videos on the subject.

When installing Windows you on;y want the hard drive or SSD in this case attached. Leave all the other drives disconnected except for a DVDRW if install that way. Windows likes to put something on every drive attached when it installs which may slow down your boot-up.

Your manual should have a drawing showing which is which, worse case google your motherboard on YouTube someone has probably videoed installing a M.2 on it.
