WD Blue 1TB drive, half of capacity not recognised in Win10 after CZ use

Hi all, this is my first time using CZ, and I think I might've goofed big-time. :(
Background: I have two laptops, a Lenovo Y500 that originally had a WD 500GB HDD, and an HP G65 with a WD 1TB HDD. Both drives have Windows 10 1703 (Creators Update built 15063) on them. What I did was use a WD Elements 2TB HDD as a repository to dump images of both drives and then physically switched them from one laptop to the other. The G65 recognised the 1TB drive's entire capacity. However, when I restored the image from the 500GB drive, the Y500 only sees half the capacity. In Disk Management, there is no unallocated space. Win10 is only seeing the drive as 500GB.
Please look past my complete bone-headedness. I thought I had read the docs thoroughly enough before attempting this, but apparently I missed something hugely important. :/
By default in beginner mode, it will restore to the same size without resizing the partition and file system. If you really want to do that, next time you can try expert mode, and choose the option "-k1":

Now since you have finished the restoring, you can try GParted live to resize that:
