Hello, I had a ssd 500gb intern and I wanted to change that to a Ssd 1 tb samsung 970 evo plus so I could get more storage but it says that I need to install a operating system to my hard disk and I wondered if I could get help. 

Sincerely Elton

New SSD is empty therefore you have to install Windows on it otherwise your machine can NOT run. Normal procedure

 

1. Clone existing drive to new drive (to have Windows and all other files/apps),

2. Swap new and old.
