. @Kingston and @Acronis I need some help. Thanks. Please see attachments here. How am I supposed to be able to use all of the new SSD's drive 1 TB? I chose this method now I have 253.3 GB unavailable to me after the clone and I put the new SSD in the laptop motherboard.

Old drive smaller than new drive. New drive larger than old drive. I can't easily find any examples online where people do this with Acronis: clone old smaller drive to lager SSD and still have all the new disk space available in Win 10 afterwards. Your help KB = no good

Solved. Plug newly cloned SSD into USB. Using Acronis, adjust that recovery partition to free up the 250+GB. Then used Win10's partition tool to make new usable partition. Works like a champ.
