    So, I ordered a G750JS and of course, was very excited when I received it. It performs very well and meets all my expectations and needs. The only thing is, the OS came pre-installed on the 256GB SSD. But that's not the problem, the problem is that I noticed when I checked the SSD, it said "95GB total". And I'm sure that win 8.1 doesn't take up over 100GB + space, so, can anyone provide an explanation as to why there's so little space? I expected 256, but now I only have 40GBs leftover on it.

    You tell us, what's on it? You can look through installed programs and look at the drive info in file explorer and right click properties.

    Is it partitioned, you can tell if there is also a D:, E:, F: etc drives. You can also look in Disk Mangement to see if it is and how so.

    Remember that advertised capacities are never what you actually get either. The publicized capacity does not reflect how storage is actually calculated - e.g: "1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes." The larger the capacity, the bigger the discrepancy.

    Can you see what's installed to the drive and eating up the difference?
