Installed windows on to my new SSD and the total space cut in half.

[andinster]

I just put in my samsung 250gb evo SSD. I used the EaseUS todo backup program to clone my western digital hard drive on to my SSD and now when i boot my computer the SSD shows it is only half the size.
I am relatively new with hard drives and such if you tell me to do something please explain how to do it. Thank you.

Please Help, thanks.

Go to Windows Disk Management. You'll see the rest of the space as unallocated space. You just have to right click on your C: drive and select expand volume.

^ Yup.
Let us know how you go.
The same thing happened on my SSD.

The only i option i have is to shrink volume.
Extend Volume is grayed out.

I just realized, my recovery and system reserve are 58 gb and 53 gb, if i shrink these to... 10gb each will i have more space for the drive? and should i do this?

Woah, why is system reserved 53GB. Its only supposed to be like 100MB. You'll need a partitioning tool to shrink the system reserved. Idk about the recovery partition though. What size was it on your original HDD?

originally 15gb on my normal HDD. But now i shrunk them and it's just unallocated space and i still can't extend the disk space.
