I was cloning my moms 237gb ssd to her new 1tb ssd on her windows 11 S computer using clonezilla and after booting into the 1tb drive it is showing up as 237gb. So I took out my live usb with gparted only to find out the partition used to store the data was indeed taking up 1tb. Is the a reason why it is not showing up as 1tb. Here are the options I choose to clone the drive if that helps. I also have some screenshots as well.

AFAIK when you clone a drive it will create a partition the same size as the original disk. It doesn’t just copy your files, it’s a full disk partition clone.
As @[email protected] said, you’ll have to extend the partition to the full drive size in Partition manager (or gparted on a Linux machine).
