Our son got an Acer Predator Helios 300 for Christmas. In this laptop is a Toshiba hard drive installed:
MQ01ABD100 :: 2.5 "HDD 1TB Toshiba MQ
Since UNIX was installed as the operating system, we replaced it with Windows (according to instructions on the Internet). That worked great, too. But now on C: only 100 GB of space available. There's then an E: drive with 0 GB of memory and that's it. Probably my husband deleted any partitions? How can you restore that and use the full space again?
Alternatively, we consider buying an SSD 1TB hard drive to make the laptop faster. But how can you then transfer the data of the built-in hard disk to the new one?
For any help to the two problems, I'm very grateful:-)!
Which Windows system?
At win 10 → Start / search for computer management / there on disk management → What is there → is there the hard drive with the full size listed?
That was a good tip! There I found the partition, was not formatted. I did that now and now it is visible again under "My Computer". However, I have now the next question… The C: plate has so a small partition with only 100 GB and the other has now 850 GB. I can't enlarge the 100 GB, I've already tried that. I can only downsize the 850 and split it further. On the C: disk but all programs are stored, from Office to games… Since the quasi-full, I would like to move a lot on the large partition (E., How can you do this the most skillful and why is that anyway? " Saublöd "set up that C: is only so small (that was already so with the delivery of the laptop).
