Most articles I read on moving data from a HDD to an SSD always mention a third party cloning program. Even some YouTube technicians I watch say the same.
So I'm wondering if Windows Backup is an acceptable method for changing from a HDD to an SSD? I've never heard it mentioned.
I intend to do a fresh install of Windows on a new SSD that is the same size or larger than my current boot HDD and restoring my programs, settings and data from a backup Windows Backup made afterwards:
Is this a proper method for migrating to an SSD?

Backup current boot drive to external HDD with Windows Backup
Unplug boot HDD and plug in SSD
Install Windows (Fresh)
Restore with Backup from external HDD
Reconnect and wipe previous HDD
Is this a proper method for migrating to an SSD?
