Yes, those are the steps. As long as Windows recognises the drive as solid state, trim should be automatic.
And, yes, I believe you can have Samsung Magician create an over-provisioning partition after you've done with Disk Management. If you want to, that is - never bothered with that myself.

Thx guys, it all went well, and yes i checked with samsung magician software to make sure drive was genuine and not been used before, all good, just deciding what size to make the Over-provisioning partition, but 20% is like 800GB, not sure if to make one now, always thought you had to have one.
Oh, and because i now have 2 ssd's in my system, does windows enable trim on both ssd's automatically ? or only the ssd that the os is on, so i have to enable trim on the slave ssd myself ? i did check and its enabled on C ok, fsutil behavior set DisableDeleteNotify 0 , oh and magician software recommended 10% op, still like 372GB
no way im doing 20% op

It's automatic for SSDs, but I think the command is query, not set.Oh, and because i now have 2 ssd's in my system, does windows enable trim on both ssd's automatically ? or only the ssd that the os is on, so i have to enable trim on the slave ssd myself ? i did check and its enabled on C ok, fsutil behavior set DisableDeleteNotify 0 , oh and magician software recommended 10% op, still like 372GB
