Cloning windows 10 to SSD NVMe without a reader

I just bought a new SSD NVMe and I want to clone my existing windows 10 with all the softwares installed and configurations to the new SSD. The problem is that I don’t have an SSD reader to connect it to my laptop and do the cloning. But I do have an external HDD drive and I was wondering if it’s possible to clone my windows to this drive and then install the new SSD in my laptop and clone the windows from the HDD drive to the newly installed SSD.

Thank you.
