How the hell do you figure that?

Your way:

1.) Buy new HD
2.) Copy all data files to external HD
3.) Put new HD into laptop
4.) Install OS on new HD
5.) Install programs on new OS install
6.) Change settings on new software installs
7.) Copy data from external HD to new HD

My way:

1.) Buy new HD
2.) Clone old HD to new HD
3.) There is no #3, because that's it

Your way, no matter what, the system won't be the same as the old one.

My way, it will be as if you never changed a thing on your system, except you have more hard drive space.
