Using Macrium Reflect to make the clone.

Thanks.

What you want to do is, clone the entire disk, not just the C: partition.

Did I say "the C: partition"? :-) What is the proper way to refer to the
HD that contains the C: partition? I used "C: drive" but that apparently
misled you.

After you have cloned it, shut down the machine, DO NOT REBOOT IT, then replace the old disk drive with the new disk drive.

Not much to be gained by booting a computer with no HD, is there?

When it is up and running, fire up Macrium and resize your partitions to take advantage of the extra space on the new disk.

If I'm replacing a HD with one of the same size, what advantage would
there be?

Is there any reason to resize any of these "unlettered" partitions, all
of which appear to be empty?

40MB OEM partition
500MB EFI system partition
750MB Recovery partition
7.12GB Recovery partition
