Clone the hard drive from the desk top to it and then take out the original hard drive from the desk top computer and install/tape the new cloned copy and shelf the one i took out of the computer for a spare back up copy. true.

If not that simple, "please explain"

That's exactly it Leon. If you buy the Crucial disk then they will give you instructions to download "Acronis True Image for Crucial" (the Samsung equivalent is called "Samsung Data Migration" )

Where you may come unstuck is if you have more that 1 terabyte of programs and data on your existing disk - because that's not going to fit on a 960GB or 1TB SSD. In which case copy some stuff off to another USB backup disk first to free up some space and get the content under 1 terabyte.

Here's the link to the Scorptec $135 Crucial deal (Scorptec are very good to deal with) - note that the price goes up to $145 after tomorrow.
