    I need help with changing from HDD to SSD.

    Hey y’all I recently upgraded from HDD to an SSD and my computer isn’t recognizing the new SSD storage space. After reboot it still showed the 120gb storage instead of the 1 TB that I put in. Any recommendations on what I need to do? Thanks y’all!

      Install the cloning software on your laptop
      Plug your SATA to USB data transfer cable into your laptop for the best transfer speeds
      Plug your brand spanking new SSD into the SATA cable
      Follow the instructions in your drive cloning application to clone your existing hard disk.

      It might be in Uninitialized state

      If you get a new SSD and it won’t show up in the Windows Explorer, it’s likely in the “uninitialized” state. You must initialize a disk before Logical Disk Manager can access it.
