It is best just to do a fresh install. If you copy from a magnetic hard drive to a ssd. you will sacrifice speed in the process.

u can either transfer ur whole HDD contents to SSD (using software, google) or reinstall windows on the new SSD
to reinstall windows just get the windows 10 install from their site and tell it to download it to a USB drive. then put in the usb drive and it should boot from that and tell it where to install windows 10.
if it doesnt boot from the USB drive u need to tell the bios to pick removable drives as the first boot option or tell it directly to boot, the keys are del or esc at the boot-up screen.

Backup your data and install a fresh copy of Windows on the ssd
Migrating an OS always causes issues

>>you will sacrifice speed in the process how?
If the drive is fragmented; it will copy that way to the SSD. it will take longer to find files.
A fresh install will eliminate this problem. Any data rot present will also copy to the SSD.
