Windows 10: Upgrade to a bigger SSD..

I would like to increase my diskspace in my windows 10 desktop by upgrading present Samsung SSD from 500GB to a 1TB SSD. How do I go about it?I would prefer to do it without any third party apps like Mini Partition Tool for partitioning the 1TB SSD into two partitions.What do I need to install a fresh Windows 10 ? Can Windows itself form two partitions when I do a fresh install?Appreciate some guides on this project.

Thank you.

Clone SSD to bigger SSD

Been trying to get my new 480 gig Sandisk to take a direct clone from my old Sandisk 128 gig SSD and all the programs I've tried keep assigning separate drive letters to each partition and then the bigger SSD wont even boot right. It boots to a blank 10 blue screen with two icons in the taskbar then starts blinking from that screen to a completely blank screen. It even somehow messed up my 128 but I was able to restore it to a time just before it got upgraded and it is booting fine again to the old SSD. I've tried the free clone program that they let you download from WD and it does like all the other free versions I've tried, separate drive letters for each partition then of course it doesn't boot properly. I've got the Acronis WD edition, Easus, macroit, anything I can find free that has good reviews.
I have always had no problem upgrading a normal boot hard drive to a bigger one but SSD to SSD must require some special settings or other steps I don't understand. I poked around here and even tried making a image but that didn't work either so I just need to know what to use that's free or cheap and how to set it up so it actually clone without adding extra drive letters and just acts like my old boot SSD only on the new bigger SSD
Thanks, Terry
