Question I've installed a new SSD, but, it doesn't seem to be working.

[Malus227]

I got a new SSD to replace my old one. I put it into my laptop, ran the cloning thing that I was told to do, removed my old SSD and...
It's not working? My laptop is recognising that it's there, if I check MSI Dragon Centre I can see it, if I look in my devices I can see it. It's on the BIOS menu as well.
But, for some reason, it's not being used as storage space and I can't seem to change any settings related to it.
I have no idea what "Windows C" is using in my File Explorer but it's not my new SSD. My old one isn't in the laptop anymore...
Does anyone have any idea what I've done wrong? How I can fix this?

Sometimes when you replace the OS disk with a clone you will need to run a system repair off either a system repair "disk" or an install disk.

This assumes that you did not have other disks attached during the original OS install or starting the clone. They can mess things up if the MBR is on a different disk, although it may still fix the problem.

Please give us:

2. What specific laptop.
3. Assuming windows is running (?) a screencap of your Disk Management window.
