A bit worried

As PooKer stated you will need to expand your partition to fill unallocated space.

As for your memory you need to enter the bios and configure your memory. I find it best to enter settings manually and remove the xmp profile however you will probably have an option to just select your speed and it will do the rest.

msg says "you can only extend the volume to the available space shown below because your disk cannot be converted to dynamic or the volume being extended is a boot or system volume"
Max available space in MB 124001
Total volume in MB 238372

OK no problem. What occurred here is when you cloned your ssd you also cloned the mbr which tells the drive how to behave. It's thinking it is a 120gb not 250gb. But don't panic. If you can download a trial of a program called partition magic. With that you can create a logical partition in the remainder of empty space. Then after this you can then extend the primary partition into the logical one thus creating one large partition!

ok i'm there what shall i do?

Download a trial copy and install it. Once installed you need to locate your os ssd and in the unallocated space create a logical extension.

ok figured it out but trial version won't let you carry out changes - but i'm working on it

In easus there will be an option for expanding partition to fill the space.

Edit: ok cool. Let me know how you get on
