No problem, your system looks fine, you see the D drive which says No Media, once you insert a CD/DVD, it should show up.

im talking about the space, 8 gb ram = only 230gb. Isn’t it to low? i gues it should be at least 400gb.0

for exemple my older pc had 6gb ram with C drive with 210gb and D drive with 210gb.0

Hi,
There's no connection between RAM and the HDD, what's the size of your HDD, from your Disk management, you seem to have a 250GB SSD, could you please post the Explorer snip.

Hi,
Yes, you have a 250GB SSD, you can install a large 2.5" HDD if you want but you have to tell us about your current SSD like my snip, otherwise nothing wrong, you might have had a larger HDD in your old laptop, may be a 480GB drive and must have created a data partition.
Go to Device manager, expand Disk drives and post the snip.

Hi,
You need to backup the M.2 SSD on to an external HDD with a program like macrium reflect, create a bootable USB drive with the same program, then remove the current M.2 SSD and install a larger M.2 SSD( example:512GB), then boot with the recovery USB you created and recover the backup image from the external HDD, you have to read these links and understand the procedure, if you think you need help, take it to a PC repair shop and they will be able to do it for you.
