What if it's an hdd that you want to upgrade should you still not do it still? 

No, never. It's not worth the trouble. A few months or years after cloning you will start to get all kinds of problems like BSODs, system hangs, disk usage spikes, OS errors, and a ton of stuff which will eventually force you to do a clean install anyway.

You can avoid all these problems by just doing a clean install in the first place and you will save more time than cloning.

Does it work correctly? Because I attempted to migrate from my 840 evo to 850 pro and when It was finished. I tried to boot it said there was some kind of boot file missing then I had to reinstall windows and restore from my system image and then everything went to my 850 pro.

Don't clone operating systems. Never do that. Always do a proper clean install.
