Easiest way is to directly clone the existing drive, assuming it is still functional. There are plenty of software options for doing this (Acronis TrueImage, Macrium Reflect) - some of which are free of charge.
You'll need an external USB adapter to connect one of the drives unless your system permits two internal drives at the same time (many 17" systems do, but few 15" or smaller systems will afford you that option).
If you require more specific information, we'll need to know what model system you have.
In order to clone, you must first adjust the size of the OS partition (C:/) to less than or equal to the size of the SSD. If you don't, the cloned OS will be corrupt, and the SSD will not boot.
And the system allows you to clone himself? It will operate the operating system? Would not failure? the operating system is pre-installed and licensed. I do not have the installation disk, the disk has only to restore the system. On the disk there is a field producer, that they do not know. Suitable for cloning program Acronis Disk Director Home?
I have win 7 license, can upgrade to version win 10, and then change the hard disk? In cloning, copying, and replacing the hard disk license is canceled? and the area on the hard drive (which is this area ???), which in the screenshot clone them, and of course the OS.
