Increase disk size in Windows 7 x86-64

[Guest Louisb]

I want to increase the size of my "C" drive on my laptop. I'm going to move from a 640 gigabyte drive to a 1TB drive. My approach to this is following:

Backup my system using an image backup. I will be using a backup features within Windows 7 x86-64 Ultimate.

Perform a physical swap of the hard drive.

Load Windows on my system again.

Excute a restore created previously from the backup done eariler.

Use diskpart to expand the physical volume.

Will the above process work? What have I left out?

Thank
