windows 7 - What do I need to know before upgrading to a larger data drive?

I'm running Windows 7, and am swapping out my current 1TB SATA HDD for a 2TB one, and want to be sure that I'm following best practices and generally doing things in the smartest, most efficient way that I can.

This is a pure data drive that contains only the Windows Users folder on it, so my plan of action is:

• Connect the new drive to the computer via SATA


• Copy the entirety of the Users folder over to the new drive in the usual way (or perhaps using something like Robocopy or Clonezilla)


• Reassign the new drive with the current drive's letter to avoid breaking paths

Are there any gotchas that I should be aware of before going about this process, on either the hardware or OS side? For example, are there parts of the Users folder that I don't need to copy, or absolutely shouldn't?
