What do you see in the BIOS? Does it show the size or type of the HDD? And what do disk management and/or diskpart show?

 

465GB is the size I'd expect from a 500GB harddisk (931GB for a 1TB harddisk), so either it's partitioned in a strange way, or it really is a 500GB harddisk.

If the harddisk size checks out, I recommend taking out the HDD, make sure the storage controller is set to AHCI mode in the BIOS, and try installing Windows on the SSD again.
