Hi there,

I cloned my windows drive (using EaseUS Todo Backup Free) to another hard drive.

Windows drive is 256gb SSD, the other drive is 2TB normal SATA.
Naturally, I have 1.6TB free unallocated space on my other drive.

Question:
Can I use the unallocated space for other data?

I need the other hard drive to be a bootable emergency drive. I rather "waste" the 1.6TB than destroy the emergency backup.

If you want to extend the drive to use the other capacity, just right click on your L: drive & select Extend Volume, click Next & you should be able to use your full 2TB, minus the file system usage ofcourse
