I have a harddrive that I'm transferring to a New SSD drive

Solution
Yes, Acronis True Image I have found is one of the easiest ways. It will do a bit for bit copy of the HDD to the SSD with your boot sector and everything. Depending on the SSD you bought, you may be able to go to the manufaturers website and download it for free using a code included with our SSD.

BE AWARE, the over all size of the information you are transferring obviously needs to be less than the formatted size of the SSD. So if you have a windows installation that takes up 90GB(with some programs and stuff) and you have a 120GB ssd(110GB after format) you should be ok. If that windows partition is more than the SSD it will not be able to transfer it.
