Image and restore Dell Laptop with proprietary partition(s)

I have seen many websites and posts in many forums about all the problems you can have trying to image and restore a dell laptop wtih those hidden partitions.  I believe one is usually for restore purposes and the other for media direct.

But what I have not seen is how to do the following.  Create an image with SSR of an old hard drive, put in a new hard drive, and restore it without having issues!

Everything I have read is how you dig yourself out of the hole once you are having problems.

Is there a painless way to do this with SSR 2013?  I really do not care if the new drive has the system recovery partition or media direct partition.

But I do want it to boot to windows and I want the full capacity of the larger hard drive.

Thanks,
