You can just copy the contents of the hard drive, to the SSD.
That will work. Bottom line, the SSD still respects 512 byte sectors,
and is a block oriented device. It'll do, whatever you tell it to do.

It's the performance level that's an issue. The SSD will
still be fast. But not as fast, as if you do the job right.

If you're in a hurry, you can ignore everything I wrote in the
other post, and just copy it over. GParted or some free partition
utility (like Easeus) can probably do that for you.

Some examples of partition managers are here. Who knows,
maybe one of them already knows what to do with an SSD :-)
