The / partition is smaller than the SSD, so just boot a live image and
use gparted to copy the partitions from the hard drive to the SSD. You
can copy all the partitions except the media one. You will have extra
space on the SSD so you could also resize the / partition if you want it
to be bigger now or you could make a /home partition or whatever.
You might need to convince the EFI system that it should use the new
hard drive though.
Wow, I did not know gparted could do that. I'll try it out
Thanks
