most ssd manufacturer's have cloning software that either comes with the ssd or you can get from them at little cost.

Hi Masimo, db188 is correct, you want to "clone" your current drive to the new drive.

Cloning basically duplicates/copies ones drive to another completely, as in everything.

I have clone guide here if you want to take a look:
