Yes. But it will align the SSD and can shrink the size as well to. The problem with most clone programs is the alignment and the size of the hard drive being bigger than the SSD. Paragon Migrate will do both of those.

It does look like a great program, I'll have a look into it, it'll definetly save me lots of time and even better it looks easy to use and understand!
It is simple. It is easier if you move all user folders to another hard drive or partition before the transfer. It drastically reduces the size of the C drive and also you won't have to do it after the transfer. It will create an exact duplicate of your current installation. If you want to move the user folders, here is a tutorial:
Relocate user folders
I also support the Paragon Migration tool. Have used it half a dozen times and it works flawlessly - only 2 clicks and you are done.
One thing I always do is first move the bootmgr from the 100MB system partition to C (before you migrate to the SSD). And if you have a Dell, that is even more important because they put the bootmgr into the recovery partition. That move can be easily done with EasyBCD (also only 2 clicks).
I'm going to plan on installing the new motherboard, cpu, cooler, RAM and then the SSD all at the same time. Would the new bios on the mobo affect anything or am I being stupid? :P
If you install all this new hardware, a transfer of your old OS will most likely not work because of driver incompatibility. In that case you should make a fresh install.
