"Want to get an ssd?"
Excellent choice. Give it more speed.

I have a USB -> SATA adapter (about $40). Then I can use Windows to make the SSD bootable, and clone the hard drive to the SSD.
Then swap the drive over. Neat, clean, quick, no extra software required.

Adapter.

... something like this, if you have the USB 3.0 ports. Lots cheaper (and slower) for USB 2.0.

Just copy all your data from the HDD that your OS is on to the SSD and then boot from the SSD in the BIOS.
P.S: Uninstall programs that aren't intensive and you don't use them a lot from your SSD and re-install them on your HDD.
