Click the Start Orb and in the search box, type DISKMGMT.MSC

Hold down both the Ctrl key and the Shift key and press Enter

In the Disk Management Window, find your drive, in the lower half of the window. It should be shown in two pieces, a "Disk" box on the left and a "Volumes" rectangle on the right. Expect to see "Healthy (and a list of stuff)"

Right-click in the rectangle and select "Extend Volume," then Windows will open a Wizard to guide you through.

You may be asked to re-boot. If not, re-boot anyway.

Cheers, PW.

P.S. Many believe it's wise to divide a huge disk into partitions. If you wish to do this, the process is similar.

Right-click the place indicating free space and select "Create Simple Volume. . ." A Wizard will guide you through.
