I have a 2TB Samsung 990 Pro M.2 SSD and recently completed the installation of Windows 11 along with all the updates. However, when I checked my SSD in Disk Management, it showed 186GB of unallocated space. The only available option is to create a whole new drive from that 186GB, which feels unnecessary since I only have one SSD. How can I resolve this issue?

Third party tools from Acronis and similar providers (there are also free alternatives available) can help expand existing partitions into unused areas. Be cautious as this might affect the Windows bootloader, potentially requiring a full format and reinstall in extreme cases.
