I successfully cloned a Crucial MX500 ssd drive but when I install in computer it is not recognized. I suspect the BIOS may need to be upgraded but not sure how. Any help would be appreciated. The BIOS is currently:

Insyde. F.2d.   8/4/2014

SM BIOS.  ver. 2.7

Bios mode-  Legacy 

I need to know the procedure for upgrade and where to find the software

 

THANKS!

No need to change anything in BIOS. All you need to do is to use another computer to initiate new SSD and format it before re-install to your machine.
