Hi so basically as you can see from the picture, I cloned a 24gb ssd onto a 128gb ssd and I now only have 24gb available on that 128gb one!! Can I please have some help on how to revert this please. I'm using AOMEI backupper and I have the old ssd and I can reinstall it if needed, basically all I want to know is how to get this to show as a 128gb again and then be able to clone 24gb's worth if stuff onto it, whilst still being 128gb. Thanks!

You needed to edit the partition size otherwise you'll clone the partition size as well. Have a read of Disk Clone Scenarios for step by step for "backupper" (especially the second & third points of step 5).

Is this a boot drive with an operating system? If so what one?

Yes, I'm cloning the 24gb boot drive to the 128gb new boot drive with Windows 10.

If you don't want to re-clone you can extend the partition.

I don't thing "Backupper" Standard (free version) supports partition editing. He said he still has the original SSD (and it's only 24GB) so his best course of action is just to redo it.

I agree, but I was more referring to booting up the current clone and using Windows on the clone to extend itself.
