So ive been looking to get myself a SSD. I made a post yesterday which someone helped me through all the stages of getting windows onto the SSD, and he mentioned cloning. So i looked into it because it seems easier than putting windows onto a disc ect.

He mentioned that id need my SSD to have more storage than what i currently have used on my SSHD. So after i ordered a 500GB SSD i went clearing through some files and games that dont really matter. Ive cleared 500GB and got my SSHD use to 1.4/1.8TB. My question is do i need to take into account the other 200GB that isnt being added to the 1.8TB?

Heyo Benc12

You kind of don't need to take that into consideration. The 1.8TB is shown in TiB while it's shown as TB ie. 2TB from manufactures.
Just focus on what Windows is telling you and don't think of the "manufacturers size"
