My SSD shows up as a smaller capacity after cloning.

Hi all!

I just got a 250gb WD Blue M.2 SSD for Christmas to serve as my new boot drive, coming from a PNY 120gb 2.5" before. I looked up a guide to clone my drive to this new one and thought everything was all fine and dandy.

Looking now, it still says my boot drive is 120gb. Looking at the program I used to clone my drive, It says the partition is 120gb and I still have 130gb unallocated. Any ideas on how I could get that extra storage to be useful to me?

The program I used to clone my drive is Macrium Reflect.

It likely created another partition, check disk management and see if another volume shows up and simply format it

You can't format empty space you have to create a volume first, but this would create a new drive letter(D Drive). Can you extend the existing C drive(partition) on the SSD

You have 130gb unallocated. Simply go into disk manager and extend the partition.
