Alright so my current pc has 1TB Western Digital Blue Drive. I found a 3TB Red Western Digital Drive lying around in my house. i know that red is for NES servers but i read its basically just a blue drive with NES support and optimization so i've decided to use it as my new main drive. im looking to move everything like my OS and all my steam games to this new drive. i have both drives plugged into my pc throught SATA DATA and SATA  power cables. i would like to know the best software for copying EVERYTHING from my main drive to this knew one without any change to my pc itself and no problems. tried to find this on youtube but too many different results. i know i can trust linus media group and their community so someone help me.

I once used Samsung Magician to do it. However that was from SSD to SSD, and I dont know if it works with hard drives

Hello QuickStones 

 

It is always recommended to use the hardware manufacturer cloning tools but there are some options out there that offer you cross-branded ability to clone and compatibility with Windows 10, see one of them:
