Ideal, and my always recommendation, is a clean install on the new SSD.
If you want to migrate from one to the other, several questions come into play.
Primarily, how much used space is currently on the old 2TB drive?
Secondly, how long has that OS install been on the HDD?

There are several ways of doing it, one way would be cloning the HDD content into the SSD with Gparted:
http://gparted.org/download.php
It is a light linux distro that runs off a usb stick, so you need to know how to make a bootable usb stick with a iso image:

Edit: If the HDD only has 1.08TB of free space you'll not be able to put those on the SSD. You can download an iso image from microsoft page if you lost your copy.

240GB SSD
~1TB used space on the existing HDD
Problem...
What OS is it? If Windows 7, you can download the official ISO file here:
