Windows 10: Is it possible to change how disk size is shown in Windows 10?

So I do know that Windows uses GiB instead of GB but show GiB as GB which is kind of confusing to me. Suppose I get a 1TB hard disk but as windows uses GiB it will display as 953.6 GB which is confusing to a lot of people as many don't even know that windows uses GiB instead of GB so they think they got scammed. Is it possible to change the units from GiB to Gb so that it shows that I have 1024GB or 1TB free instead of 953.6 GB Free?

Hi Vickie,

It's possible that some settings were accidentally changed, affecting your icons and font size. We'd like to learn more about your concern so that we could provide the proper resolution. We just have a few questions for you:

• Which build version of Windows 10 is on your computer? To check, click
  Start, type winver, and press Enter. For example, 14393.1066.
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

As initial recommendation, we suggest following these steps to change the icon size:

• Right-click on an empty space on your desktop.
• Select View.

Additionally, you can change the display size of texts and other items by following these steps:

• Right-click on an empty space on your desktop.
