I much prefer to use bootable clones over Time Machine.

Get carbon copy cloner to make an exact copy of your old HD to the New one...

Or SuperDuper...

Or the most expensive one & my favorite, Tri-Backup...

OK if i make the carbon copy then how does it gets updated when you make any changes to any of your files or you do it manually.

Also I want to store my music and pictures manually to have more control for deleting or updating the files.

Please correct me if I am wrong in following the steps:

Another thing is what are the procedures exactly to be followed.

thanks for all your help and support.
