I wouldn't worry about it, then. If it triggers you, complain to Apple, lol.

which is wrong. 'Macintosh SSD' and 'Windows 10' are partitoons sharing a 500GB SSD. why is it saying that Windows 10 is it's own 500GB SSD?

Seems like it doesn't know what to call the Windows 10 partition. It sees the 380GB APFS volume and the remainder as a separate partition with Windows 10 which is logically correct. It's just not 100% physically accurate, as the Windows partition isn't a separate 120GB disk. 

 

Nothing you can do about it, though.

PC Specs - AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D - MSI B550M Mortar - 32GB Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR4-3600 @ CL16 - ASRock RX7800XT - 660p 1TBGB & Crucial P5 1TB - Fractal Define Mini C - CM V750v2 - Windows 11 Pro

Afaik, it looks for the path in /Volumes or /dev directly when backing up volumes, so it shouldn't matter.

at least you have backups macOS doesn't seem to delete files like the latest Windows update does
