I have two Samsung SSD's, an 840 EVO 500GB for Windows 7 and an 850 EVO 500GB for Windows 10. I don't use the Magician. I tried it, for cloning when I got the 840 and was replacing a hard drive and the clone did not work. I don't need any of the tweaking it does, in fact it screwed up my Power configuration and some tweaks I had done (on Win 7). My systems boot up fast and no need for any tweaking there.
Sounds like you used an old version. Magician does not do hard drive cloning as far as I'm aware.
The latest version allows you to review the settings before you change them, if you don't do this of course your preferred settings may screw up :) The latest version seems pretty good.
I used their recommendation minus one thing myself for optimization.
The main reason to use it imho is firmware upgrades.
Cheers...
