Best to just install all your Programs and Apps again onto the new laptop.
Just asking for a lot of trouble with Drivers, Motherboard Drivers to start with!

Guess you could always try it if you had a spare hard drive (clone to the spare hard drive).
I surely wouldn't clone to the hard drive that comes with the new laptop (take it out of the computer).

If you were just wanting a Cloned Backup, yes I totally agree!
To Clone I use to use Acronis True Image.
The last computer I cloned is my current Laptop and I used AOMEI Backupper.
My Laptop had an Empty mSATA Slot for an SSD Drive and I cloned the existing HDD Drive onto a New SSD Drive.
I then formatted the 500gb HDD and set it up for storage!
