If this is a second hard drive in your machine, it will be automatically detected, but you need to use the Windows Disk Manager tool to format the drive. If you are replacing a drive, use Samsung's Data Migration Software (https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/download/tools/) before you remove the old hard drive to transfer all your data to the new drive. You'll need a cable to connect the Samsung SSD to a USB port in order to transfer the data. I found this one on Amazon: "StarTech.com SATA to USB Cable - USB 3.0 to 2.5” SATA III Hard Drive Adapter - External Converter for SSD/HDD Data Transfer" I've used it with two Samsung drives and it worked great.
