I had an NVME 256G drive that I replaced with a 512G nvme drive. I cloned the 256g drive to an external usb 1.8Tb hard drive. I then replace the drives in my laptop and cloned the hard drive copy back to the new 512g drive.. Everything seem to have worked fine. Rebooted normally, etc. However, the windows explorer shows the 237.5 G but the disk manager show a 467.5 g NTFS partition. Any suggestions on how to make windows 11 recognize the addition space?

Used diskpart to extend the filesystem. diskpart. select volume 0. extend filesystem.
