Question Samsung 860 Evo 500gb shows as 840 Evo 120gb in win 10

[Gregkar]

I used to have a Samsung 840 Evo 120gb SSD which i replaced with an 860 Evo 500gb. problem is that although in Samsung Magician i can see the correct model, in windows (everywhere in windows, meaning my computer, disk management, device manager) it still appears as an 840 Evo 120gb.

anyone knows what to do?

Did you by any chance do a clone operation from the 840 to the 860?

No idea, i don't remember, i did the upgrade months ago, i just now noticed the problem. this drive is not the main OS drive, it is a secondary one so i guess i just copied-pasted everything

There are no 120GB drives/partitions.
Show a screenshot, where 120GB drive appears.

I think its just the labeling/identification.
