Macrum Reflect did a thing (Userbench website hates me!!!)

Long ago I upgraded my C: drive from a 500 GB samgung 860 evo SSD to a 1 TB SSD of the same brand.type via macrium reflect image cloning. I never bothered to correct what it did, but ever since then, whenever I did any benchmarking with userbench to see how it ranks my setup, it always mistakes my 1 TB for the old 500 GB drive.

Without reinstalling windows fresh and clean, is there a way for my system to realize "wait a tick, this is a 1 TB drive, not a 500 GB drive", or would that nuclear option be the only way at all?

You could try reinstalling the driver for the Samsung drive, go to Device Manager, expand Disk Drives, right click Samsung drive and uninstall the driver, reboot and let Windows install the driver.

You know, I never considered that under the reasoning that it'd really FUBAR my computer somehow. I'm willing to make a macrium reflect backup before I do this, but will doing your suggestion turn my everything into a potato, or will it not?

This happened to me when I upgraded my 256GB Samsung Evo to 500GB 970Evo Plus, it will not mess up your system, anyway, creating a backup of your system before carrying out any such task is always a good practice.

Well color me impressed; I uninstalled the 500 GB drive via device manager and now my system reflects that I have the proper hardware now. Does this trick work with secondary internal HDD/SSD drives used as directory replacements for the default documents, music, video, desktop folders and above? (chanigng from C:\Users\[name]\Documents to [Drive Letter Here]:\Users\[name]\documents)

Yes, I think it will work for any drive.

overall, this is indeed solved, and I did "uninstall" the drivers for both my C: and D: drive again, yet defraggler still says my HDD (D: drive) is an SSD instead.......a minor thing, but whatever, as long as it defrags my HDD right and keeps it healthy, ill keep it until I manage to get my hands on a PS5 and can finally take the SSD in it and truly go all SSD and no SSD/HDD setup
