    Where did you buy it from? Was it a reputable seller, or some back alley sketch-show? Brand?

    If there is no additional volumes in disk management, then the disk is likely a 120GB one.

    Check for unallocated space or maybe volumes in unknown formats that windows can’t see, use disk manager or diskpart, if there is no other volume or free unallocated space, im afraid you got scamazed

    Windows+R to Run

    Enter “compmgmt.msc”

    Go to “Disk Management” in the left panel. See if there is unallocated space on the drive.

    If so, you should be able to extend the drive to utilize that space.

    I noticed this is your C drive. Is it possible that you bought a new SSD to replace an old one and used a clone tool to replicate your old drive before replacing it?

    FYI: Clone tools will also replicate the allocated space on the new disk. you need to manually extend the allocated portion to the full capacity of the new drive.

    Go into Disk Management, initialize your disk and create a volume.

    Increase the partition size to 120gb and create a new partition for apps and shit. Keep the OS partition clean.

  11. Something wrong with the partitioning of the disk. Check the disc manager

    Because you’re using an 88GB primary partition. Pretty easy to extend it with disk partitioning

  13. Good you’ve been scammed or your partition table is wrong, reset the partition table

  14. Am i the only who here who thinks it’s stupid it isn’t plug and play? Why do you have to activate the empty space i just don’t get it
