Hi so I recently bought a WD 4TB Black to replace my 1TB blue drive. I would like to move all information from my blue to black drive and understand I need special software to do this. I tried one and it seems to be giving me issue so I came here to ask what programs do you guys recommend?

Yep, thanks Hawkeye22. Acronis True Image WD Edition software is free to use.
Here are some guides on how to clone your drive with it (link for downloading the program is also included with the instructions)
