I got a new Eraser Medion PC, it's my first. I'm 15, and I'm not a computer expert. My PC has a SSD, and three hard drives, which are "Boot", "Recovery" and "Data". It has 1tb and that seems to be in the "Data" hard drive, but none of my 1tb is being used. It appears like it's being puy in the small "Boot" drive. I tried to download something yesterday and I looked in my documents, there was nothing there. Since I don't know much about computers, I'm terrified that it's all downloading in the wrong place. I got a game yesterday, when it came and it said that I had 80,000 left on my hard drive space before I downloaded it, I know I'm supposed to have much more than that, this PC is brand new and I haven't downloaded pretty much anything, please help, I waited a long time for this PC and now I don't know what to do.
