Yeah, in case you can get a larger SSD, you can clone your smaller one onto it. The cloning process will create exactly the same copy. There are some free cloning tools that can do that. Thread on that: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1878285/cloning-hard-drive.html
You can clone your SSD on a larger HDD as well. I din't understand what you wanted to do in your first post. Yet, it is good to have SSD for your boot drive. If you clone it on a hard drive, you will get slower boot times.

Hi there NextGenHacker,

I assume that your SSD is actually your C:. If this is the case, you will not be able to allocate the storage capacity of the new 1TB drive to your (SSD)C:.
I would be really helpful if you can provide a screenshot of your Disk Management.

Apart from that, you can try to free up some space on your SSD.
You can adjust your system restore settings and delete previous restore points: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/5482/make-system-restore-use-less-space-in-windows-7/

Honorable
Ccleaner------------------ do a scan and registry scan
Revo uninstaller---------- uninstall programs you can reinstall
re install some programs to your secondary drive.
move data to your secondary drive
install browsers to the secondary drive
download files should goto the secondary drive.
think you can move the windows temp folder to the secondary drive too


you want to keep your SSD under 75% capacity.
