Q: How do I restore my MBP from time machine after installing new hard drive?

So I installed a new hard drive today.  I used to be running Mavericks but rebooted on the Snow Leopard disk I had.  Unfortunately, I cannot seem to upgrade to Mavericks (since apparently, they pulled it).  I cannot even upgrade to Yosemite because I cannot get the App Store - my OS is too old. So its too old to do anything, yet I can't access the new OS either.  I have time machine backups on an external USB hard drive.  I also have my old hard drive in an enclosure.  How do I copy my old drive onto my new drive?  This is driving me crazy!!  I have been working on this all day (upgrading and putting programs back on where I can), and now I am thinking I may have to erase and start all over.  UGH!  I am not an expert at this kind of stuff; in fact, its the first time I have ever replaced a hard drive or anything like that. Is there some easy way with an easy tutorial?

iPhone 5s, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)
