It was free. As long as it didn't corrupt your hardware in any way, you shouldn't be so upset.

Windows is recognizing it as 24 GB, which doesn't make any sense.

This might be a card reader issue. I'd recommend reformatting it on the phone if it's possible, then check again on Windows.

FWIW, fake cards generally advertise a larger size when they don't actually have it, so it's less likely a fake card and more likely some formatting or OS issue.

What happens if you put it on your phone, and then use the phone as USB mass storage to navigate in the files?

Looks like the GS7 does some weird stuff with the SD card and can lock out part of it for "adoptable storage". Make sure the card has this set to 0.

Open disk partitioning utility from control panel and check if there are multiple partitions or any unallocated space

Afaik newer Android devices only support MTP/PTP protocols and not mass storage. So OP won't be able to use the S7 as an SD card reader if he intends to format it.

Did you create ext4 partition while setting up your phone? (Aka. Store apps on your phone via second partition)
