A week or two later I see that I can bypass the boot camp stuff and attempt to install windows on my SSD but it wipes it to make it all Windows.Boot camp doesn't bring up the option to install after dowloading everything (the 3rd box option is greyed out and un-selectable to do anything further which greatly confuses me).I then erase windows thinking that I can just re-install it all through boot camp.Copies everything, then sees that Windows is not visible or able to boot up any more (everything else is fine) (SSD is inside my physical macbook at this point).Buys a Copying program (superDuper!) to copy everything from original HDD to SSD.My history in trying to get this to work from the beginning is as follows: any help is much appreciated in figuring out whats happening! (now that I changed to the SSD I lost my windows side in the process of tranfering the copy of my HD.) Now on the new SSD my boot camp offers the 10 option but boot camp needs the APFS format first in order for it to partition and work. In the past I have installed Windows 7, upgraded to 8.1, then got 10 running just fine.
The reason for all this silliness is I am also wanting to run boot camp and have windows to play classic games on for nostalgic sake. (mounting does nothing and has no response.) What I am wanting to do is put a fresh OSX install on the SSD in APFS format to then be happy ever after with a little bit of windows on the side. (I then format the disk to APFS, run recovery mode) ((yes, I keep going back and forth on my original HD backup to format it in disk utility)) but the APFS formatted SSD is not seen or mounted and I cannot mount it.

However I run into an issue, when I boot into recovery mode (either with the disk previously formatted in Mac os extended (journaled) It is seen and mounted by my computer but that is not the format I am looking for. I was wanting to Install a new OS X on my new Samsung QVO 860 2TB SSD.
