I have an XPS 8930 with a 256g SSD drive that is 3-years old and just failed.  As a result, I ordered a new 8940 with a 2TB SSD.  I want to take the old SSD and put it in the new computer, then transfer the OS so I don’t have to start from scratch with Windows and applications.  Is this possible?

My research so far indicates that it is.  

As for physical installation, there appear to be two, 2.5 inch bays and two power supply connections. I would then need to procure and connect a second SATA data cable.  

I think that the next step would be to clone the OS onto the new SSD. 

Does anyone know if this doable and have any recommendations?  Also, do you know if taking this action would present any warranty issues?  

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
