How to Clone OS from HDD to SSD with Different Sector Sizes

Question

My Asus laptop has a 1TB HDD, and I recently purchased a 2TB NVMe-type SSD. I plan to clone my OS from my HDD to an SSD while using Windows 10, but both the cloning and image-restoring processes result in different sector size errors. Can I clone my OS from HDD to SSD with different sector sizes?
