BootCamp not reporting storage correctly?

That's normal as far as I have experienced. macOS doesn't show totals for non HFS/APFS drives, and Windows 10 would be installed as NTFS, which macOS still can't write natively. So I think it's safe to assume it's normal.

Hello, got Windows 10 up and running on my 2016 base MacBook Pro and wondered if this is normally how I am supposed to see Bootcamps' storage report breakdown:

My MacBook has 256GB of storage and as you can see macOS has a 200GB partition and Windows has a 50.69GB partition but it shows the full SSD size and does not report used storage. 

 

Is this normal?

Not actually the database software, just some furry. Vintage tech enthusiast, has more old tech than they know what to do with.
