Upgrading my windows 10 pc that acts as my central media server/hub for all my local LAN stuff. Upgrading some aging hard drives (one was in use for 12 years according to the smart data)

So I'm using internal sata connectors, upgrading to Seagate IronWolf and wd red nas drives, all 4tb. Upgrading from 1.5tb and 3tb older drives. Again all drives working, just have 5+ years of 24/7 use on them.

So basically just want to clone these 1.5tb and 3tb drives onto new 4tb drives and swap them out. Simple, what's the fastest way to accomplish this?

Thanks!
