drtoast or anyone who can help What are the steps to add it to the partition and make the new partition have C+D on same drive. So I can have full use off the 500gb. Thank you for showing me the steps on how to do this.

1| You never add partitions to an SSD unless you want to kill the device.

2| You're best just reinstalling your OS from scratch after recreating your bootable installer to rule out a corrupt installer. Often times the threads you see here are from a failed attempt during cloning. Saves you all the time and hair pulling by just doing a clean install.

3| Backup your critical content in case the data gets lost.

If I'm understanding this right - you cloned 132GB SSD to 500GB SSD and there is some unallocated space left on 500GB drive. Correct?
Go into Disk Management and extend OS partition on 500GB drive.

Post screenshot from Disk Management, if you have any trouble with extending of partition.
