Help needed to restore windows backup image to new SSD

Hello!
I have a 1TB SSD with two drives (C: windows and D : personal files). I have made a system backup of my windows that I am able to restore when needed with AOMEI whenever needed. When I do a restore, the system is restored and drive D : is untouched as expected. I have bought a new SSD 2TB and want to restore my backed up image to the new drive. I know that I can install that drive on my PC and restore the image on it. But I have few doubts and questions:

What I want to achieve is to have the exact same partition size as I had on the old drive on my old system on the new one. And then have ONLY my D : drive 1 TB bigger on the new SSD. So I can continue backing up and restoring my system from any of the two drives to the other one.
Will I be able to do this by not partitioning the new SSD, and have only unallocated space on it, then restoring the backed up system image to that SSD?  Would I then get the exact same clone of system on both ssd and have the remaining part of the new ssd as unalocated, so I can format it and have it as new D : +1tb? Or should I do this in another way?

    Backupper should allow you to choose 3 options during restoration. Keep partition size the same, expand partitions to use all unallocated space, or manual customization.

    Birdy, When you do the restore, you can get the exact same clone of system on both ssd and have the remaining part of the new ssd as unalocated.
