you can clone the drive to move it all over without reinstalling everything. i believe this will do the job for you and the free trial works fully if i recall correctly. so you can use it once and move on without buying it. http://www.acronis.com/en-us/personal/pc-backup/
Yes you can, but you may have issues with the hidden backup partition that Windows 8 creates. I ended up deleting it as it never worked after the cloning, so it became a waste of space.
The other thing you have to make sure of is that the space used on the hard drive is smaller than the size of the SSD. I had to backup a good chunk of my drive to an external before I could clone it. (2tb hd to 256gb ssd)
