From one hard drive to another

[computer1337]

Hey guys, I am getting a new hard drive and I was wonder how can i transfer ALL my data from the current one to the new one, like programs, drivers and everything generally, as if nothing ever happened like i never changed drives.

You can clone one drive to another, there are many good programs to use, including Clonezilla, EaseUS Todo, True Image, Ghost 15. That will make it an identical copy that can replace the old drive, then you can format the old drive and use it for storage. One thing to do is to have an install disk or make a system repair disc first in case you have to fix the SRP after the drive change.
