Once you're finished installing the SSD, you'll need to tell your computer to boot from it. Close Disk Management and continue to the next step. It isn't super important what this volume looks like we just need a volume on the disk for AOMEI to see it. Right-click on it, choose New Simple Volume, and click Next through the wizard to create a new volume taking up the entire drive. Once the drive has been initialized, you should see the drive show up in the bottom pane of Disk Management as unallocated space. If you aren't prompted to initialize the drive, and don't see it in Disk Management, double-check that it's properly connected to your computer, and that the enclosure or dock is powered on (if necessary).
If you aren't sure, look up your specific model of PC or motherboard to see which type of firmware it uses. If you have an older PC with a traditional BIOS, you may need to use an MBR partition table. I'll be using GPT for my SSD, since I have a modern PC with a UEFI firmware. It'll prompt you to initialize the drive using either the GPT or MBR partition table. Click the "Create and format hard disk partitions" option, and Disk Management will open. Open the Start menu and type "partitions" in the search box. If it's a brand-new drive, you probably won't see the drive pop up in File Explorer, but don't worry it just needs to be initialized first.
Plug your SSD into the SATA-to-USB adapter, then plug that into your computer.
