Sector Size Incompatibility

Want to replace an aging WD HDD in an Asus laptop (NV53A) with a WD SSD. Sector size for the current HDD is 512, the SSDs - IIRC, are 6K. Want to clone but previous experience (with other drives) won’t allow due to the differing sector size.

Is there a solution? Sure would hate to do a clean reinstall of Win 7, MS Office, and the myriad other programs already installed…
