Utilizing all the space on new larger hard drive

Post by happy2bhere »

When I choose to copy using IFW from my current Windows 10 hard drive to a brand new larger hard drive the new drive size is the same as the original hard drive. The remaining space on the larger hard goes unformatted?

What can I do so that all of the space on the newer larger hard drive does not go unformatted when copying is completed?

After the fact, you can also do it using Disk Management > Extend Volume
