Installing SSD in new ALX R4, and making it the boot drive

$

Have just ordered a new ALX R4. Would have preferred to order a SSD HDD combo, but Dell didn't have this combo, and the largest SSD they have available was 512Gb.

So, when the new PC arrives, I intend to install a Samsung 840 EVO 1TB mSATA SSD (using an Icy Box 2.5" to 3.5" HDD/SSD converter).

Youtube has a video showing how:

 "Alienware Aurora ALX R4 - Installing an SSD"

So, how do I make the SSD the boot disk, and the HDD the backup?

Do I re-install the operating system? Can I clone the HDD onto the SSD, then change the boot order? Something else?

Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.
