ssd issues

[tbgjlb]

hello all
I'm just trying to check something. I bought a samsung ssd so I could clone a hdd to it and I had a adapter from years ago but it wouldn't recognise it so I bought a new 2 bay dock which also cant see it , I've already connected it to a desktop but it cant find a boot thingy which I suppose it wouldn't as it doesn't have windows on it yet. So what I'm just trying to do is make sure there's nothing else I can do before I get intouch with the seller.

any help gratefully received

Thanks for the reply . But you've gone a bit technical on me , over the years with a number of hard drives I've just connected via my old adapter all ok now this did not work I bought a new one and it did not work , I've never played with bios or played with any settings to get it recognized just plug and play install new windows or backups etc . So not sure what I need to do now before I contact the seller
