Very simply put I had a 2TB Seagate Drive and filled it up quite fast. I have just purchased and received my 4TB SSHD. I have already cloned the 2TB HDD to the SSHD 4TB using Acronis Software that came with my laptops SSD. The SSHD says however that it only has 2.1TB usable. When I go to Disk Management it shows the remainder of the SSHD as un allocated. I right click and i cannot do anything other than view properties. Every time I i try to change the settings to UEFI only instead of legacy+UEFI, it send me int EFI screen. I tried using Acronis's tool to expand the drive fully but it did not work or maybe i am just not looking in the proper place.
I have been doing research but yeah need help. All i wish to achieve is to have the full SSHD amount be usable. I can wipe the drive and do another clone if necessary and so on so forth, so any workarounds requiring that are fine.
PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM USING WINDOWS 10 TECHNICAL PREVIEW AS MY OS. I do have Win7 Pro but I am trying to get used to Win 10 and this excellent OS. Any fixes that require me to go back to win 7 are not going to fly. Put them so i have the knowledge but please work with me. Thank you tech gurus, computer nerds (such as myself), and avid PC aficionados.
