Run `Get-Volume` in PowerShell to list all volumes; pipe to Format-Table with SizeRemaining for a free-space report.

01Command

Command
$ Get-Volume | Sort-Object DriveLetter | Format-Table DriveLetter, FileSystemLabel, FileSystem, @{n='SizeGB';e={[math]::Round($_.Size/1GB,1)}}, @{n='FreeGB';e={[math]::Round($_.SizeRemaining/1GB,1)}} -AutoSize

02What it does

Get-Volume queries the Storage cmdlet layer and returns objects, not the fixed text that fsutil or dir produce. Size and SizeRemaining are raw bytes, so dividing by 1GB inside a calculated property gives a human-readable table. It is the modern replacement for the old `wmic logicaldisk` trick and works in both PowerShell 5.1 and 7.
