The technique of combining two shots in post, would work well if you had no flash. Or, if you had a flash that you couldn't control, like the built-in pop-up flash.

Either way works.👍😁👍

Try HDR ... mount the camera on a tripod ... experiment with varying exposure compensations, ie./ -1,0Ev to +1.00EV. Good Luck.

How can I get the correct exposure on this shot using a Nikon D750? This is an interior shot with a snowy, winter exterior beyond the windows. I want to capture the shot with plenty of detail both outside and inside. I have tried experimenting with different combinations of flash, underexposure and playing with ISO, but could use some advice.

Do you mind if I try to adjust it????

Two shots, one exposed for the interior room, the other for the outdoors (window). Then combine both in Photoshop. There are many excellent videos on how to do this. I just saw one from Anthony Morganti earlier this week.

This is the way to do it, adjusting exposure will just make the interior too dark! would go 5 shot and blend in HDR realisticaly

Easiest way is not to try.... just capture the interior from an angle that doesn't include the windows. BUT - this is why God created HDR. You shoot three shots from a tripod using a range of bracketed exposures and then use software such as Photomatix Pro to combine the three, and everything will be perfectly exposed!

Since you already have the shot Lightroom will solve your problem. Use the "shadows" slider to lighten the interior and keep the exterior as it is.

HDR or cut and paste correct exposed window into a composition.

I guess everyone has a way to do this and I will tell you what I do.
I take three different exposures, one at normal meter reading, another underexposed by 1 stop and another overexposed by 1 stop. I export the three files (done in camera bracketing the exposure) into Photomatix Pro and then combine them there.
It works for me.

Similar situations, but metered to capture the entire range of light with one exposure. And one where multiple exposures would not work.

As someone who does quite a bit of Real Estate (RE) work, HDR (in Lightroom CC) has become a really close friend. While I am not a big fan of radical HDR, I do like it to balance the light with interior views with windows. I choose to shoot -2 to +2 in 1/2 stop intervals (9 shots) using a tripod, a remote release, and high speed on a D810. Been very happy with my results, as have my clients. In the "old" days, with film & a 4 x 5 camera, I worked with a guy who spent loads of time balancing each shot and did excellent work. In today's world, my clients are not willing to pay for that amount of time, so HDR is my best friend. Best of luck.

Also a quick PP in PSCC - image>adjust>shadow/highlights +75 & +35 - gives great results to this image
care to see my results?

This works but it is not necessary to go to Photoshop. You can balance the indoor/outdoor exposure in one shot.

2 pages so far of WAGs and a few 'adjusted' versions of the OP's pic, and yet no one as given an example solving the OP's main question of ". . . I want to capture the shot with plenty of detail both outside and inside."

Sure they have if both are needed then the HDR suggestion works or PP in and filling in the windows with fake sky, but in the case of both is needed I opt for HDR.
