  • SSD Only Shows 32GB
    This is a very easy fix for this common problem and I will show you how in disk management. its a simple case of deleting the volume and make the whole drive unalocated space and the create a new volume.

    My issue is that my computer has a 256 gb ssd that is very full, so I bought a 1 tb ssd and migrated the OS and all software from my original ssd to my 1 tb ssd using aomei backerupper. Then I disengaged my original ssd in bios, and selected my new ssd as the primary boot with the OS (I'm a novice at best with this computer stuff). So, now my new 1tb ssd shows that its volume is similar to my original ssd card of 256 gb with very little volume remaining (similar to my original ssd) although it is actually a 1 tb ssd with less than 1/4 used. If I delete the volume that you've shown in this video, then I'd have to re-migrate the ssd data all over again/start over. Is there another way to fix it? Or is it just there but not showing up on properties? And I also want to change my new ssd OS "G:" drive letter to "C:" so its like it should be as the primary boot/OS drive. Do you have solutions to these two issues? Thanks,

    what happens if you do this to the c drive will everything included the OS be wiped? do a need to format the whole pc after that of will the os and all programs stay on the c drive cuse a have a 256 gig SSD c drive that only comes up as like 94 and i have like 144 unallocated space. so can i preform this on the c drive or will that delete everything including the OS on it?

    Is this the same with the SSD drive. I just bought a gaming laptop with a SSD 256gb and a 1TB HDD. My 1TB is only missing 70gb and I guess it's due to software but my SSD drive is only showing 118gb so half. So does this work for that and what about my files in the ssd drive. Can I just copy them onto the hdd drive then do what you showed and just move them back after the process is done?

    That was so easy. I lost all my movies and tv shows that I had on this 2tb hard drive when I needed to create a recovery usb for windows 10. Unfortunately I did not know it would wipe out all my data and replace it with said recovery tool. There is some soft ware that you can download to recover the lost files but I believe most of those services cost money so if it is that important to you I would highly recommend downloading one of those services.
