Windows 10: Why is my hard disk is showing a capacity of only 27 GB when there are 512 GB?

I have a Zenbook Flip 15 that's been running on Windows 10. Microsoft rolled out a Windows 11 update for the laptop. It crashed the computer, I worked with Microsoft support to try several things to fix it, but ultimately the only way to repair it was to do a clean install. I made the USB, but it wouldn't show the drive. I found out on the Asus support website that that's a problem sometimes, so I followed the Asus Support instructions when the drive wasn't coming up and completed the clean install.Now I'm having two issues and I haven't been able to find any way to resolve them

8GB pendrive shows 7.21 GB as available capacity

Hey Guys,

I have a 8GB Kingston USB Pendrive

First when I inserted the drive into my PC, it showed capacity of 7.26 GB

But after formatting, the capacity shows 7.21 GB

I have tried deleting the partition and creating a new partition using diskpart, but no luck

Why is this so ?

And a 8GB pendrive should actually be having 7.45 GB storage capacity , right ?

Can someone pl help ?

Upgrade Hard Drive from 128GB to 512 GB

Hello. . .

I am operating a Dell Inspirion 7786 with a 64 bit Operating system, x64 based processor

I am attempting to upgrade from an 128GB (filled up SUPER fast) to a 512 GB hard drive. Computer has a separate 1T storage drive.

I have learned that I have a PCIe x 4 connection.

The current drive is a PCIe Gen3 x 4 Solid State Drive
CL1-3D128-Q11 NVMe Liteon 128GB
Model # CL1-3D128-Q11





This a two “tab” SSD. . .I would like to upgrade to an OEM 512GB HD.

It is my understanding that I have an “M” key with a PCIe x 4

I am trying to find an OEM 512 GB drive and not having much luck. I have found what I believe to be an OEM replacement KBG40ZNS512G Toshiba hard drive, but they don't appear to be in production. . .

I am finding a combo B+M Key drive, but finding some conflicting information as to whether or not that drive will work.

Do you know where I can purchase an OEM 512GB drive. I can find 256GB all day long, but would prefer to jump to a 512 since my 128GB filled up so fast.

Thank you for you time. . .I know very little about the “workings” of the computer.
