From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

^ Yeah I second this. Make a bootable flash drive with clonezilla on it, boot from that, and clone your original disk to the new SSD
Clonezilla is an awesome tool. If you have doubts about the procedure test it out in a virtual machine. Testing in VMs will save you so much grief.
Some prefer CloneZilla, some prefer Acronis, the idea is the same though.
Just don’t forget to expand your volumes once you’re done cloning
