I have a laptop that I had geek squad run a diagnostic on recently. They told me the hard drive was failing and to purchase a msata hard drive to replace the current one. They wanted 80 bucks to do the data migration, but I had done one for an ssd and thought I could handle it. Long and short of it, I am having trouble figuring out how to clone the current msata drive to the new one. Do I need anything else beside some the msata to clone and replace the drive?
I wanted to try to use an external drive for the clone, and then upload it to the new msata. Would that work? Any suggestions on the best way to go about this?!?

Also, I am currently running windows 10 if that makes any difference in software suggestions!

Thanks for any advice!
