What I have done many times is:
1. Create a backup image of the entire drive using Macrium Reflect Free or Pro.
2. Remove HDD, install SSD.
3. Restore backup to new SSD.
4. Run the Macrium Fix boot problems.
Boot and make sure all is well.
Put HDD back as a 2nd drive for data storage or backup.
(Yes, I know you can use Macrium to clone the HDD to the SSD but I've found the image method works every time, cloning does not. Also give you a good backup).

I recommend using the free to download EaseUS Todo Backup and cloning your hard disk.
You can also try AOMEI Backupper. It's easy to use and it works well.

Clean install does not.
Your choice.
I prefer to use imaging. Never had much luck with cloning.
