How can you completely copy a hard disk of a notebook to another new hard disk for a notebook?
That's fine. Easiest on Linux with ddrescue.
You could clone the disk. However, the new hard disk must be connected for this as well. For notebooks, this would be possible with a hard disk enclosure, which can be connected via USB. Unless you get two hard drives in your notebook.
A means would be the free program HDClone, which you can download here: https://www.miray.de/download/hdclone.html
After running the program, select the Clone option. There you choose at the beginning of the current drive, which in your case would be the old hard drive. The next step is to select the target drive, which is the new hard drive. Then you start the process.
The new hard drive you will then probably have to put in the BIOS in the boot order in the first place. If at the end there should be any problems when booting over the new hard drive, then boot from a Windows DVD or a USB stick and execute the following commands at the command prompt:
bootrec / fixmbr
bootrec / fixboot
bootrec / scanos
bootrec / rebuildbcd
You can then format the old hard drive at the end, if Windows can run on the new hard drive without any problems. The data is now there, so they do not have to stay on the old hard drive.
There's a program and a post in the PC world… "move to SSD."
There it is explained.
