Making 860 EVO bootable on Z75 Pro3

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Have a Z75 Pro3 with 2700K and 32G 1600 DDR3 booting from 120G SATA SSD.  It also has the Nvidia qudtro 2000D in the first PCIe slot.The 120G 840 became tight and hence slow, so I got the 860 EVO 500G with an adapter that now sits in the second PCIe slot.  I cloned the 840 (C:) to the 960 EVO, but the motherboard UEFI doesn't recognize it at all and I cannot select it in in the boot order menu.
The drive is recognizable by Win 10 Disk Management, but it doesn't show in Win explorer.  The Samsung Magician shows it and clock it in an incredible performance 1.5gb/s reads and writes.
Any ideas on how to make it work will be greatly appreciated - even with giving up some performance... 
Thanks,
Eyal
