Complete Installation Guide on new virgin SSD

Hi guys,
I'm looking for a complete installation guide on new virgin SSD which I've already bought (samsung 860 pro). I want to start with a vanilla installation.
Do you know one of it?
I'm a really newbie.

thank you in advance.

The official installation guid offered in the wiki should cover it all.

There is only one installation guide: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installation_guide

Everything else is either outdated or wrong and in most cases both and will not be supported here. Wrt to the installation there are usually no specific steps that have to be taken for an SSD, what you might want to do is enabling periodic TRIM after the installation is complete. For evereything else there are no specific SSD precautions necessary.

In addition to the advise given above, this self-assessment should give you pause. Arch isn't a newbie-friendly experience, at all.

That being said, self-awareness (and a willingness to learn, coupled with determination and reading/comprehension skills) make many things possible. You will find the going much easier elsewhere though.
