HI,
I have a drive in a laptop and want to replace it with a larger one. I don't however want to go through the extreme pain of trying to reinstall all the software on it. Is there a way I can copy everything onto the new drive and just swap them over?

RTFM?

If you only need to use it once then use the Acronis free trial. It's very easy to use.
