Upgrading HDD to SDD

Hi,

I'm planning to upgrade HDD in my Dell xps 9550 to SDD.

I thought of doing fresh windows install by creating windows 10 installation medium.

But when I looked at the disk partitions in current HDD There are more than main windows install partition.

But I also see they are 100% free, should I create partitions in the same way in the new SSD?

What is the best way to upgrade SSD (not the physical bits but software wise)?

Also is it better to create more than one partition i.e. C and d?

Thank you
