It's not too hard. Make a direct copy of the old drive to an external drive. Install the new drive. Do a direct copy back onto the new drive from the external. Expand the partition to the new size.

Or you can install the new drive and reinstall steam os.

For you and me no it’s not too hard at all. But you and I aren’t the average consumer. The average consumer buys it and uses it like a console. To the average consumer, this is impossible. Very few people are going to open it up and conduct what they would consider computer surgery.
