You could get a hardware disk duplicator. Makes an exact copy of your disk. Target disk needs to be at least as large as the source, but if the target is bigger it will only think it is the size of the source when you are done. Best is to buy the exact same disk drive so you know size is exactly the same.

I changed my dad's computer from a spinner to an SSD using a cloner like this one. This one also has a USB cable so you can also use the cloner as a SATA disk dock. What is nice about the duplicator/cloner is you just put the drives in, hit the button, and let it run. No software to buy or configure. But if you get the source and destination slots confused, you'll erase your disk.
If you have an M.2 drive, then things are a bit trickier. Three are M.2 to SATA adapters, but I've never tried to do this in a duplicator. If you are all SATA based, these are easy.
