I have freedos laptop. While installing windows it could not find the disk. I also installed the intel vdm driver. Althought I have a 1 TB SSD, 232 GB of space appears on the installation screen. Iooked at the model number of the SSD on the boot screen, it shows 1 TB SSD. It's not a hardware problem, it's a software problem. Please help me, thanks...

When you do a Win10 installation to a blank drive, the Window installer does the formatting and the partition results depend on whether you boot the PC using UEFI or BIOS and whether the install media is for UEFI or MBR.  We have no control over any of these or over what Microsoft does to format the drive.

 

You need to open the Disk Management console and look a the partitions and present that information here.
