1 Tb Hard Drive Showing as 237 Gb

by Nov 16, 2018 5:31PM PST

I recently bought a new laptop that came with a 1 tb hard drive and once I started using it I noticed I only have 237 Gbs. Is there a fix to this problem? (Searched Disk Management and there is only 14mb of unallocated space)

what does Device Manager show?

Maybe there's more room left on the drive for a second partition?

Go into the BIOS/UEFI and see what it says about the disk.
