Cloning old 250GB SSD onto new 1TB SSD (c drive)

I'll be using the free version of Macrium Reflect to clone my current small SSD c drive onto a larger replacement SSD today.
I've read their documentation but just want to check that I'll be doing the next bit correctly.

Once I've cloned it do I turn off the PC & disconnect the old c drive?
Do I need to go into it first & get it configured to see the new imposter c drive? Or do I boot it up & let it do its thing?

I would remove the old drive and plug in the new one. It should boot immediately if the clone was successful.

It appears to have worked. It is a miracle!

I use it daily on my own and client machines. Great for scheduled backups.

I know I looked like a numbnut but building machines easy, cloneing scary. I'd never cloned a drive before & was convinced it was too good to be true. If only I could use cloneing hocus pocus when I upgrade the cpu... yeah I'm not that foolish
