TeraByte Unlimited has a 30-day free trial for their software, which includes a cloning option. https://www.terabyteunlimited.com/bootit-bare-metal.htm

I’ve used their software for years - very reliable.

You can use AOMEI Partition Assistant to clone laptop hard drive to SSD easily. If you want to try, refer to: https://www.diskpart.com/clone/clone-laptop-hard-drive-to-ssd-7201.html

I just use pv to clone disks. slightly easier and a lot faster. https://pateo.wordpress.com/2016/10/09/cloningimaging-drivesdisks-using-linux-pv-command-ubuntu-example/
I didn’t see the Linux problem you might be able to do this from wsl. If it’s a ryzen laptop there are some workarounds needed to get Linux to play nice.
