You need to re-clone. There should be an option on the restore to the new disk to resize the volume to the full space.

Tried several, free ones, but now unable to re-clone, re4cover, or resize. Have spent 10 hours and every option except the right one, if there is one

Does the system still live on the original drive?
If so, redo it.

Macrium Reflect.

Put the original 55GB drive in.
Install Macrium.
Redo the clone to the new drive.

Installed Macrium but it will not see ther 240g. Have tried drive in an external dock, OK, can be seen by disk management, but not by sandisk ssd dashboard.
Disk management says the 240g 223.57 unallowcated & not inialized. I think it is time to dump it, though only 2 weeks old!

A drive advertised at 240GB, and seen within the OS as 223GB is absolutely normal.

base 10 vs base 2.

A 1TB drive will be see as 931GB
A 250GB drive will be seen as 230GB
240GB seen as 223GB
etc, etc

You simply need to Initialize that drive, Format, and give it a drive letter.

A screencap of your current Disk Manager window would help here.
The whole window.
