Question Cloning an HHD to SSD

[akings]

I plan to replace my HDD with an SSD because I want my laptop to run faster and it failed a diagnostics test. I don't know why it failed but, I don't want to corrupt my new SSD. What happens if I don't clone the HDD to the SSD?

You can replace the HDD with SSD and make a clean install.
