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:
- Open Disk Management (right-click Start > Disk Management).
- Find the 233GB partition (likely unallocated).
- Right-click it, select New Simple Volume, and follow the wizard to assign a drive letter.
- 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.

You could either delete the partition and expand your main one, or assign a drive letter and keep them separate. One for documents and one for games, for example.
