you could mirror the drive with a software like acronis

CPU: Ryzen 3700X VGA: RX 5700 8G RAM: 32GB 3200MT/s DDR4 Motherboard: B450 Aorus Pro

Storage: 2x1TB Crucial P2, 1TB Crucial MX500, 36TB NAS Cooling: Custom Loop 360mm & 280mm

PSU: Super Flower Golden Green HX 650W Case: Phanteks Enthoo Luxe

Often, the SSD manufacturer will provide a software (if not in the package, then on their web page) that will allow you to clone the contents of one drive to their SSD.  Failing that, there are a number of software packages available that will allow you to clone the existing HDD to the SSD (Acronis True Image having been mentioned, Macrium Reflect being another).
