Hello

I just purchased what I thought was a laptop with 1TB hard drive (ASUS VivoBook F510UA)
I wanted to copy/transfer close to 450 GB of downloaded music from old laptop to the ASUS (yes I realize that is quite a bit and yes I do have a 2 TB external drive to back up to), but the C: Drive on the ASUS has only 119 GB and the D: Drive has 931 GB of space. I’m so confused. What can I do to switch those numbers or should I send the ASUS back and please tell me what I missed in my research.

Thanks
Mark

The HDD is either partitioned or has a 120GB SSD alonside the HDD.

931GB is typically what is left of a 1TB HDD, so I'd be inclined to suspect an SSD is also present.

You can use the HDD (D drive) to store your bulk media like music etc.

The SSD will be beneficial as a boot drive for improved speed/load times etc.

To confirm 100%, open Disk Management, right click each drive & note the model numbers stated. You can either Google those numbers, or post them here.

Here is what I found:
C-Toshiba MQ04ABF100
Toshiba THNSK128GVN8

D-same names

C says Healthy NTFS (Boot, Page File, Crash Dump, Primary Partition)
(Disk 1 partition 1) Healthy (EFI System Partition)
(Disk 1 partition 4) Healthy (Recovery Partition)
DATA (D :) NTFS Healthy (Primary Partition)

Down below that Data D is Disk 0 931.51 GB
Disk 1 C 119.23 GB

Not sure if that is remotely what you were looking for
