I cloned the wife's 64 gb SSD to a new Samsung 840 120gb SSD, swapped them out with no issues but the PC does not recognize the new increase in SSD size. It does show as a Samsung 840 SSD.
Have I missed a setting or something? This is my first foray into upgrading SSD's and I plan to do the same with the other 2 laptops later this month as time allows (assuming I can get this issue corrected).

Any helpful hints or tips will be greatly appreciated,
Jeff

Go to Disk Management and you will find that there is 64g unallocated because when you clone a 64g drive it only copies 64g to the drive and leaves the rest blank.
Click on the active partition and then expand that to take up the full drive.
