I tried cloning it again but selected something this time that looks like it filled the whole m.2 instead? It seems I have the whole tb available this time instead of only half of it, I think.
Best thing you can do is post a screen shot of Windows Disk Managment, showing all drives.
But yeah, that tentatively looks OK.

Your second attempt went better because you found that other choice in Macrium. You could have fixed your first attempt, but it appears you don't need to fix anything now because you made the second attempt.
Post a Disk Managment screen shot to confirm.
Does the PC boot with the old boot drive disconnected?
This is what I see. I think this is what you were asking for? I am currently booted up with the original boot drive removed now. Seems to be working and stable.
Looks like I probably didn't do something exactly right because of those small partitions still on there? But it doesn't appear to be a problem either.

Show full Disk Management window - with all drives visible (not some cropped small part of it).
Normal full window will look like this:
Weird physical install for the new drive. Tiny bolt that came with it, wouldn't screw into the motherboard. Took the screw from the old drive, went right in the first time. After boot up, no second drive recognized though. Any hints there?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Do I need to point the pc to the new drive, or do something in bios, or format the new drive manually somehow?
Thanks.
Drive posted is the drive I just cloned to. It is booting up fine. I now installed my new ssd (which was why I cloned my original boot drive onto the drive posted successfully above) but my pc isn't seeing the brand new 2tb ssd that I installed for my games.
The new 2 TB drive cannot be seen where?
In the BIOS?
In Windows Disk Management?
It is certainly going to need a format before it is useful. That would typically be done in Windows Disk Management. But I do see many complaints here about new drives not being immediately recognized. I have not followed those threads.
Was able to find some info on Disk Management, and I think I have it set up now. It is reading as D drive. I think I might be off to install Steam on the new drive and to finally install Nightingale for the first time?! Hoping this is my last post on this long thread. You are all the best!

All that re-downloading of steam could have been avoided with a simple M.2 PCIE adapter.Now if I could just get into steam. Too many login attempts after needing to install it fresh.

No, you don't.
Since you presumably did not give them any payment info, they can't charge you.
After the 30 days, the install you have will only be good for recovering a previously created Image.
