I was able to enable by Googling around for the correct machine code (don’t need extra software), and Office took a few calls and online chat sessions to figure out, but that’s not Samsung’s fault.
Just plugged the SATA cable in and did a clean install of Windows 7 from a USB
Just make sure you have a windows or other OS key as its a clean install.
I installed this SSD and did a clean install of OS X El Capitan with no problems
The performance is just incredible after a clean install of the OS in this drive
After being a fairly avid PC gamer for the better part of the past 10+ years, I decided it was time to give my system a long overdue performance upgrade
Nevertheless it is a good upgrade and no regrets what so ever
If you are upgrading a machine, the two best upgrades are to upgrade the boot drive to an SSD and to max out your RAM
and I guarantee it will be the best upgrade you ever did for your MacBook Pro!!!
Fast hard drive upgrade for my desktop PC.I had to add a 3.5" to 2.5" adapter.

I'll never buy another computer without a solid state drive.
At 2017-01-11 09:18:43 the Windows Event Log - HD Bad Block (7) service transitioned from a Normal state to a Failed state
Third, I waited to write this review primarily because it's been in my experience when reading reviews that drives especially - be it hard disk or solid state, that are going to fail, tend to have a tendency to fail within a month or two after purchase
Very good solid state hard drive, I do have it for for a couple years now, very fast, efficient and make big difference on PC boot up
Gone are the heat issues, throttling back to painfully slow speeds, thermal shutdowns, cheapo plastic cases that fall apart, broken hinges, broken keys, failing drives, and other problems
Amazing speed and with a Manufacturer 10 year warranty, you cannot lose
The read and write speeds are horrible when compared to the speeds of my OLDER and NON-PRO Samsung drives
Love the speed in opening Windows 10 and all my applications
Working great for over a year and has greatly improved my computers speed
A cold boot up has dropped form 5-7 minutes to 50 seconds with the 850 PRO
Windows boots from hibernation to usable in under 8 seconds and it destroys any game I put on it
After installing the 850 PRO 512GB SSD it now takes 90 seconds for a cold boot to complete
Performance with SSD is much faster, especially initial boot, than standard HDD
It's another thing entirely to see your system, which probably takes upwards of 30 seconds on a standard HDD to start up, boot up from a cold boot in less than 10
Unfortunately, Samsung won't just send you a new drive, even if you can demonstrate the problem using their software
the CD has outdated software and doesn't work with Windows 10
Been almost six weeks and not only is it still running as fast as at the beginning, this upgrade as solved some errors with buggy software issues I used to have.
The cloning software that comes with it gave me trouble because it would not clone SATA to SATA and it didn't like my PCI-E USB 3.0 ports either.
After 10 minutes of waiting, windows 7 popped up and warned me that the software had become unresponsive.
At 2017-01-11 09:18:43 the Windows Event Log - HD Bad Block (7) service transitioned from a Normal state to a Failed state
Windows showed many bad block errors and I couldn't create a new system image backup since reads kept failing
Here are the details of the Windows Event Log - HD Bad Block (7) service
When I looked at my "this PC" window, there was the new drive C, with a huge cornfield's worth of space waiting for me
