    Windows 10 on a 120GB SSD occupy 90 GBs


    Hello there, i really need a help here!


    I changed my old hdd to a new ssd and it's a 120 gb ssd from Crucial, i used their software to clone windows 10 on the new ssd but that action left the ssd with only 5gbs left, so i decided to do a new installation from this option Windows 10 on a 120GB SSD occupy 90 GBs d8f82364-d7c9-4eb8-b0b0-e60ca0427096?upload=true.png


    and after the new installation my ssd is occupied by 90 GBs of files but i can't find any trace of them.


    These files and folders are the only files in the ssd at moment:

    Windows 10 on a 120GB SSD occupy 90 GBs 0dc9df81-05a2-4634-ae33-378dbb16bfbe?upload=true.png


    Any idea? How can i find and delete these "hidden" files?

    :)

    Replacing 120GB SSD with 1 TB HDD

    When I first built my PC, my 120GB SSD C: drive was plenty big enough since I had a 1TB HDD D: drive. Now though I am hitting the limit of my SSD and I want to migrate to a new 1 TB HDD. I cloned and swapped and it booted, but Windows is still only seeing
    120GB of my new 1TB drive. How do I fix this?

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Windows 10 Pro clean installation on SSD stops at settings step


    I followed steps for installation on SSD with UEFI Everything went well until the first restart after installation files reached 100% When screen came back it was back to original Install now screen.

    I had disabled secure boot in firmware as suggested. SSD is the only drive attached at present. Should I attempt a reinstallation or are there other steps I should pursue first.

    I am using a retail licensed Windows 10 Pro version installed on USB using Microsoft creation media.

    Dell 8700 XPS
    i7 4790 processor at 3.40 Ghz
    16GB memory
    2 TB HDD Windows 8.1 installed presently not connected
