Samsung migration software: does the hard drive slot matter?

Yesterday the hard drive said goodbye to my laptop and I ordered a replacement SSD from Samsung.

Samsung offers this migration software to clone the operating system. I just installed the hard drive from my old laptop so that I could still use it until then.

Could I then also install the SSD directly and connect my old one via USB to copy it or do I have to connect the SSD via USB first, as described in the instructions? I would just reinstall Windows, but I have to consider that I get all the drivers together.

Here the sequence should be followed, i.e. Connect SSD via USB

and clone old FP. But when the old FP has passed, all that remains is to reinstall Windows. Missing drivers can be obtained from the laptop manufacturer

Thanks for the answer ^^ for the drivers I found Driver Boost while googling and then the most important thing seems to have installed itself:>
