Expand Disk

1. Any body know how to expand the file system after restoring backup .img file to larger 128 GB micro sd card?
2. raspi-config says my partition layout is not currently supported and I am probably using NOOBS?
3. I used win32 disk imager to back up the 32 GB Kingstong Micro sd card that came with the system
4. Then I used Raspberry Pi Imager to write the image

sudo fdisk -1

Device         Boot  Start      End  Sectors  Size Id Type

Even though we see 5 partitions, Notice 60526591 as the end for mmcblk0p2 and mmcblk0p7. This means the extended mmcblk0p2 partition contains inner ones of linux, fat32, and linux again. So this used a PINN installer. Bascially the extended partion contains the inner children and it's next to impossible to resize this crap.
