Hard drive showing wrong free space windows 10

That is why some users say they have lost disk space after cloning hard drive. In Windows File Explorer, you cannot see the unallocated space. And then you will meet the issue that HDD/SSD shows wrong capacity. When the cloned drive is larger than the original drive, most of the cloning programs, if not all, will leave the extra space on the cloned hard drive as unallocated space. This is because when you clone a hard drive, you also cloned the partition size besides the data. In other words, the cloned drive not showing full capacity. When you upgrade to a larger hard disk drive (HDD) or solid-state drive (SSD) by cloning the old drive, you may find the cloned hard drive has the same disk space as the original drive. My cloned hard drive shows wrong size, why?
