Clone? No.
Imaging? Yes. From the new PC's hard drive to the SSD.
Or just download a free and legit Windows ISO of the same version that you get on the new PC. Burn it to a DVD and install from that DVD directly to the SSD after you put it in the new PC. Activate with your new Product Key from the sticker on your new PC. That's entirely legal.
We can point you to the source for the ISO if you want to do that.
You would lose whatever crap Dell or Gateway may have put on the new PC's hard drive. Not likely you'd need any of it anyway.
If you go the ISO route, you'd have to reinstall your programs. If you image, you won't.
You can't clone because the new HD is a lot larger than the SSD. And cloning is a bit shaky anyway.
I'd do a clean install to the SSD using an ISO, but it's your call.
