All parts came in finally and this is something you do not want to do on a regular basis.
The pictures will show the enclosure for the 2TB drive, I could not get it to stay in so I used a piece of scotch tape to hold the drive in place and then placed the thermal pad over the SSD and then closed it and the enclosure came with a usb to fit this laptop. I did not remove the battery.
Used minipartition as I mentioned earlier which was free. The system booted into windows with the 1TB drive and the enclosure with the 2TB drive was connected via usb. Then called up minipartition in windows and used diskclone. It stayed briefly in windows and indicated in order to complete the process, a reboot was necessary
System went into DOS and pictures show % changes and then when COMPLETE, shut down system and removed 1TB from laptop and replaced with 2TB drive, SCOTCH TAPE WAS NOT AFFECTED BY HEAT
The rest of the pictures show new drive installed in the Dell XPS 9570
