Got a used ASUS ROG STRIX GL10CS. Comes with 1tb HDD and 250gb SSD.
In file explorer there are 3 drives, C: (344gb), D: (585 gb), and E: (500 mb). When I got it, I immediately went to reset my pc to which I was asked which drive to install Windows to so I chose drive C: thinking it was the SSD but I realized after it couldnt be because it's total capacity was around 300gb. As a result gaming is fine but regular things like browsing and using file explorer are terribly laggy.
I set out to find out if Windows was really on the HDD. So I went to disk management and it shows 2 disks. The first disk has many partitions including drives C, D, and E for a total of 931gb.
The second disk has 248gb of unallocated space. This must be the SSD. Just to make sure I checked Task Manager and sure enough it shows both disks with the second disk being unused.
Why wasnt the SSD an option to install Windows to in the first place? Why can't I access the SSD? How can I install windows to it now? I have nothing on this computer except for games so losing data is not an issue for me.
