Hi
I have replaced my old 250gd ssd with a Kingston 1tb ssd. I cloned the old drive with acronis true image oem software.
The issue I'm having is that my pc still thinks the new HD is 250gb.
I am unable to extend the partition as the box is grayed out.
What are my options ??
Thanks

    The above image displayed a recovery partition that is 715.30 GB.
    Most recovery partitions are < 1 GB.

    Unless you've deliberately created an unusually large recovery partition for a specific reason it can be deleted or deleted and recreated.

    Open administrative command prompt and type or copy and paste:

    sfc /scannow
    dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
    reagentc /info
    bcdedit /enum all
    chkdsk /scan
    diskpart
    lis dis

    Was there anything important in that was placed into the recovery partition or can it be deleted?

    Please post share links instead of posting results directly into the thread.

    For share links please use one drive, drop box, or google drive.

    The commands were typed incorrectly (out of order).

    When administrative command is opened start with the first row: sfc /scannow

    Sfc /scannow is not designed to run once diskpart is typed.

    How come the commands were not typed in sequence?

    How come this command was typed: DISKPART> sfc /scannow ?

    These are the same commands using numbers so that they are typed in sequence:

    Open administrative command prompt and type or copy and paste: (do not type the number nor the parenthesis in the administrative command prompt box. The numbers are so that the sequence is maintained)

    1) sfc /scannow
    2) dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
    3) reagentc /info
    4) bcdedit /enum all
