If you have some sort of USB to SATA adapter (from Amazon.com for wherever you are from for example) you can use Macrium Reflect Free version :) This duplicates your old hard drive's data to your new SSD. You can then use the old hard drive for storage.

cloning software. However, I would recommend you just doing a fresh install if possible, and transfer the older files later.
