Recently i upgraded my old ssd from 256gb to 1tb and after cloning it shows the old size. I used macrium reflect free edition to clone. How do i get it to show the new size? Also when i open the new ssd none of the system files show up, its just empty even though the capacity shows being occupied. Thanks

Welcome to the forum. The drive is showing a logical partition which is the rest of the drive. You need to delete the logical partition then you have an option to create a primary partition to store data or then move recovery to the end and then you can grow c to full size free partition software makes it simple to do
ok i downloaded minitool partition wizard and deleted the logical partition, im not sure how to proceed from there. Is the C: drive my default primary or do i need to make a new one? im not sure how to move recovery to the end either. im sorry this is all very new to me and im learning as i go. Thank you for the help
Once you have deleted that Logical partition, MiniTool can "slide" that Recovery all the way to the end, freeing up space right after the C: partition, which can then be expanded.
Right click the Recovery and choose "Move", then grab the bar and slide it as far to the right as you want to. Apply your changes. Option will be in upper left. Then right click C: partition and chose Expand, and do similar.
Here is the MiniTool Manual: Partition Software Tutorial | MiniTool Partition Wizard Tutorial Guide
ok this is what i ended up with im not sure if its correct or not
i think its the bottom partition, i clicked move and slid the bar all the way over, should i not have done it all the way?
ok that makes sense now, ill just resize it back down since that seems unecessary. Thanks alot for the help everyone

You have about 430MB of recovery occupying about 56GB of space.
