Disk Manager did "drive translation" and could get an old BIOS to see a 
bigger drive; in fact you had to install it to see a lot of the very old 
drives at all (and then could only read the drive on a system with Disk 
Manager installed). Then there were cards with their own BIOS and larger 
drive support. But by the time we got to the 486 era, that had become 
unnecessary.

Right-click on Explorer's sorting bar, whatever it's called (Name, Date, 
etc.) and you will be presented with options. And "More" with yes, More 
options! The list in Win11 is ridiculous.
