I would suggest backing up your files and performing a manual clean install.

You can use disk utility to partition the new Samsung to journaled instead of APFS and then installing high sierra.

If you upgrade, stubbornly OS X will be converted to APFS, but on a manual clean install the conversion does not occur.
