Cloning my OS drive

I am running Windows 7. I would like to upgrade to Windows 10 but my solid state C: drive only has 3 GB free so I am afraid I won't have room. I bought a new bigger solid state drive to replace my C: drive.
I ran a clone drive utility and now this is what it looks like:
Old drive:
C: OS
D: System Reserved
New drive
H: System Reserved
I: OS Clone
What I need to do is get I: to become C: and H: to become D: but I am not sure how to do that.
Do I just pull out both drives and plug the new drive into the location that the old drive was?
Do I need to to go into device manager and remove the new drive first?
I am not sure how to proceed here.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Reclone the old drive with Macrium Reflect, power down, then pull out the old drive, and reboot.

Thanks.
I went ahead and tried pulling out the original before recloning. It worked perfectly. It was easier than I expected.
