How can I replace existing hard disk?

I currently run CentOS as a VMware virtual machine on ESXi v6.5. I don't think I can upgrade to a later version of EXSi - theDell T110 server hardware is too old, but still seems reliable.
It's all running on a 1GB hard drive, using almost 850GB for data - music, videos, and photos - using Plex Media Server running under CentOS.
I have a new 4GB Western Digital Red hard drive, and also an SSD - 120GB, small by modern standards.
Where might I find straightforward instructions to replace the 1GB hard drive by a combination of the SSD for a boot and system drive, and also move the data to the new 4GB hard drive?
Can I do it without having to recreate the system from scratch?
