Cloned HDD/SSD not showing full capacity? Learn how to clone a smaller drive to a larger drive without unallocated space left.
Sometimes, when you clone a small disk to a larger one, however, the cloned disk will not increase in capacity. How to use the full capacity of the large target drive? There are two ways to accomplish this:
When you do the disk clone, you can click the "Edit Partitions" button.
You can select "Add unused space to all partitions" so that the destination disk partitions will be automatically resized to the entire disk, appropriate for the disk size.
Or you can use "Manually adjust partition size" to manually edit the destination partition size and location by dragging the slider bar.
After cloning, press Windows + X and select Disk Management. Right-click on the cloned drive and select Extend Volume.
