How to access the hidden primary partition?

The internal ssd is 512GB and there is a 233GB primary partition I can't see in the file explorer. How can I access and use the free space?

    To access the hidden partition:

    1. Open Disk Management (right-click Start > Disk Management).
    2. Find the 233GB partition (likely unallocated).
    3. Right-click it, select New Simple Volume, and follow the wizard to assign a drive letter.
    4. If you want to extend an existing partition, right-click it and select Extend Volume.

    After that, you'll be able to access the partition in File Explorer.
