Changing hard drive in a laptop

Hi. I know similar topics have been covered but here is my problem.
My company (US) has been sold a pup. Spec says 500Gb but is only 80Gb. Don't want to send it back. So told them I will buy a hard drive myself.

Have an external 250Gb drive so can copy all files programs using something like Adonis software.

Take hard drive out, replace with new. How do I boot up laptop, and then get it to copy everything from external hard drive?

Will I lose passwords, or email on Outlook? Will my programs still function the same?

No discs as company has multi license on Windows and programs.
