“I saw that it says 512 GB SSD. But when I go to the storage it says 476. Why does it not shows it as 512? Where are the other 32 GB of storage?”

• It is showing the amount of storage in actual size in bytes. This is normal behavior and is a common question of HDD and SSD storage space available in Windows. https://www.crucial.com/support/articles-faq-ssd/ssd-showing-smaller-than-advertised#:~:text=Why%20Does%20My%20SSD%20Show%20up%20as%20Smaller,reported%20slightly%20differently%20than%20other%20capacities%20in%20computing.

• There is always a small amount of storage used by the systems for the drive partition. When a drive is formatted you never get 100% of the storage available

• The SSD will have the factory installed Windows, Windows recovery partitions and other mandatory software. You could reach out to the Dell technical support team for assistance with freeing up more space.
