Answer 1

Take it - for free for buyers of almost any discs:
(free in the sense that either links to the same programs, or the programs themselves, sometimes branded, come with a large number of discs, and the developers themselves, in general, do not hide much and prohibit use)

Answer 2

is not a fact. for XP, it worked quite well, it was enough to format it in NTFS with a Windows formatter, and do not forget to mark the partition as bootable . but since Windows 7 there is a hidden bootloader section. and if UEFI BIOS - then two partitions .. the
best option is Acronis TI. SSD manufacturers themselves often include a disk with a partially stripped-down version of this utility to transfer from an old HDD.
there is also Acronic DD, in theory it can also be used, but the risks increase sharply - it can be stupid. and most importantly - you need to understand very well what you are doing (but then you would not ask such a question)
Acronis TI backs up the image to external media (ideally a third one). this means that the original can be simply turned off for a start, and perform as many attempts to restore to a new media (SSD) as needed for success. and only then clean up the old media for the new destination.

Answer 3

Install firewood, copy the image to a new disk, fix the bootloader. tweak a couple of settings.
There are special programs like this (this is Samsung's) that do everything automatically.
It is very important to check if trim is enabled after the transfer.

Answer 4

This is the same as copying an installed game and pasting it into another computer. Nothing will come of it, it's not just the files on the disk!

Answer 5

Actually, for your task, advanced partition managers (for example, AOMEI Partition Assistant or Paragon's HDM) have a special option "Migrate OS to SSD". You can also manually, but it is much more troublesome, but you can take into account the nuances and preferences. And of course, it's not just copying files and folders!

Answer 6

The SSD must be equal to or larger than the HDD.
Insert both media.
Download some LiveCD/LiveUSB from linux.
Make dd if=/dev/HDD of=/dev/SSD bs=1M(Values ​​for HDD and SSD can be viewed using lsblk, for example)
Get a boot disk with utilities from Acronis in a fresh way, so that GPT can do it, and clone them. (This is how I transferred the system from a 500GB HDD to a 1TB SSD).
Use the CloneZilla boot disk, for example. There you can specify another drive, EMNIP, as the output location.
After cloning, you boot the system from the SSD and resize the outer partition in the disk manager so that it takes up the entire disk.
