SSD Won't Clone

I just purchased a 2TB SX8200 Pro SSD to replace my current 512GB SSD with. I'm trying to clone the SSD, so I downloaded the software since it says it comes with it for free. Of course I've registered my SSD already. I've plugged the new SSD in my laptop with a USB adapter. Upon clicking "Clone Disk" on the software and going through the steps (yes, the software recognized the new SSD), I get to the part where it says to restart my computer and of course I do that. The computer just restarts normally and nothing else happens. So I tried it again and the same thing happened. I did that a few times and it just does the same thing, so now here I am. This is a new laptop and I really need more space on this laptop as I've already filled it up within the short time I've had it (I have a lot of games and videos) and I've never done upgrading laptop storage before so I'm hoping that I can get some help to get my new SSD up and running so that I can put it in my laptop.
