It's "possible", yes. But you might find it easier to perform a new installation of Debian 11 on the new drive, and then copy over the /home directory from the old installation, plus whatever other data need to be transferred. It depends primarily on how much customization you did to the existing system. If there are a lot of third-party applications that you would need to reinstall/rebuild on the new system, then that starts to swing the needle back in the direction of "trying to migrate an existing system to a new hard drive". Which is nontrivial, but possible.
