I'm migrating my Windows 10 drive to a larger SSD, I've looked over many migration tools but I have no experience with any of them. I'd appreciate anybody that has experience with migration tools to recommend one to me. I'm just looking to clone the drive with everything on it to the new drive and will not need to slim down the over all size of the drive.

Disconnect ALL drives except the current C and the new SSD

Select ALL the partitions on the existing C drive
Click the 'Clone' button
Wait until it is done
When it finishes, power...

Wait until it is done
When it finishes, power off
Disconnect ALL drives except for the new SSD
Swap the SATA cables around so that the new drive is connected to the same SATA port as the old drive
Power up, and verify the BIOS boot order
If good, continue the power up

It should boot from the new drive, just as like the old drive.
Maybe reboot a time or two, just to make sure.

If it works, and it should, all is good.

Later, reconnect the old drive and wipe as necessary.
