Re: Change a 128 my sdd to a larger size
Laptop or tower?
if laptop what is the make and model? If desktop the answer is yes and you can clone the drive with backupper. If a laptop the answer is most likely but the cloning might be complicated unless you have a large external drive |

Macrium Free
is what I've used a couple of times, nice and easy to clone and use the extra space. alternatively use Rescuezilla/Clonezilla to make an image of existing one, and then image to new one |
Re: Change a 128 my sdd to a larger size
Ok so the cloning part is well answered but the how to clone and the swap part can not be answered until we are told if it is a tower or laptop and if a laptop the model number is needed to find a tear down video to see if it is an easy swap or not

Could you give the spec of the PC/laptop, then we can give you a more informed answer. |

Do an image backup not clone, boot from recovery backup OS with new ssd installed, restore the backup image.
On the restore macrium lets you increase the partition there and then, but even if you restore with same partition you can extend it in windows afterwards. |

Clonezilla vote here. Super simple and free.
IIRC, AOMEI did a mounted partition clone tool. This meant you clone from within the mounted windows volume / partition to a new drive, swap drives over and boot. |
