I have used Acronis True Image to clone hard drives onto a SSD. This will work as long as the amount of data on the HDD will fit on the SSD.
If not, you may be able to temporarily remove some of it, such as by uninstalling programs or archiving large pics and videos to optical media (or another drive).

You specify in your BIOS which one is the boot drive. In fact, once the clone is done, you can test by disconnecting the original drive. If everything is working, you would reconnect it (after confirmed you've set your HDD priority in BIOS).
