Default Why is it not letting me extend the partition?

So one of my oldest SSD's just finally had a bad misfire. One of its
memory cells seems to have gone bad, and it happened to be my boot
drive, so I had to restore to a new SSD from backups. That took a fair
bit of time to restore, but the new drive is twice as large as the old
one, but it created a partition that is the same size as the original. I
expected that, but I also expected that I should be able to extend the
partition after the restore to fill the new drive's size. However going
into disk management it doesn't allow me to fill up that entire drive.
Any idea what's going on here?
