It seems that others are/were experiencing BSOD issues with the Samsung 850 EVO SSD and Windows 10 especially...a quick google search:

some pages of interest:

https://community.spiceworks.com/top...ssd-pro-or-evo

https://www.sevenforums.com/bsod-hel...b-install.html

some are suggesting to install the Samsung magician software with the view of updating the firmware for the SSD and/or disabling "rapid mode".

I'm curious to see if the firmware on the old SSD was ever updated, and to try disabling rapid mode to see if it helps with the BSODs. It's prolly nothing, but I always wonder if things like this will fix an issue without having to resort to spending more money!

PS I had all sorts of trouble updating the firmware on my 840 SSD and gave up on it (Samsung software continuously crashed during the update process). I did contact Samsung several times, but their support was absolutely atrocious.
