How to Clone HDD to SSD without Cable

Hi, I bought a new SSD, but it didn't come with a USB to SATA cable. So, I can't connect SSD as an external device to clone. I am wondering if it is possible to clone my HDD to SSD without cable. Do you have any advice?

Two ways are available to clone HDD to SSD if you don't have a cable.

The first one is installing HDD and SSD on your computer and using disk cloning software to perform disk clone. The other one is restoring the system image to the SSD, but the premise is that you must have created a system image backup before. If not, the first way is your option.

Here is the detailed instruction for using the first method:
