You have to ask the vendor but from the following information

 

            https://www.idrive.com/

 

It won't be able to clone HDD for you. You need a clone software. The following Guide shows you how

 

          https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/how-to-clone-a-hard-drive

 

In your case, you may have to

 

(a) Install clone software on your old machine,

(b) Remove drive from new machine and connect to an adapter

(c) Clone old machine to new drive

(d) Install back drive to new machine

 

I don't know why you have to clone old drive to new machine. I think you ONLY need your old data/files to new machine. and that is very simple,  please ask vendor OR simply download backup files to your new machine.

 

Regards.
