What would be the best way in going about transferring your HDD OS to an SSD drive?

I think most SSDs come with a program which copies the data from a hard drive to a SSD.

Windows also has a built-in System image backup program for making a whole backup of your Windows drive, and personal files.

I heard Acronis True Image is a good paid disk imaging program.

http://clonezilla.org/ is a popular free disk cloning program.

Acronis True Image is good from what I hear from my sources. Though maybe just having a recovery partition on my laptop will be easy enough with two drive bays?

Having a recovery partition would work, but recovery partitions can be risky since they are stored on your laptop. But, backing up your data, system files, and personal files to a Drive image stored on an external hard drive is a good idea since you still have your files even if a robber steals your laptop, you lose your laptop, or a huge power surge or accident breaks your entire laptop.

A virus and ransomware can delete, corrupt files or encrypt all your files on a laptop including your recovery partition, so storing your "Whole drive backup file" to an external hard drive or another computer or file server is a good idea.

I don't mean store files on a recovery partition (they usually aren't that big anyways), I just mean use one to image a new SSD.
