Can any program clone C drive to SSD in Windows 10

I upgraded my computer from Windows 7 to Windows 10 when the official version of the new system came out. Now I am buying a new SSD. I want to use it as a bootable disk and the old HDD as a data storage disk. So, to achieve the goal, I need to move Windows 10 from HDD to SSD. I know I can manually reinstall the system and all the installed applications to the SSD. But I don't think it is the best or the only way. Do you know any reliable cloning software that can help?

By cloning C drive to SSD, such programs can help you keep everything intact after the HDD to SSD migration job. It is really the best solution to transfer C drive to SSD without reinstalling anything. You can't find another easier and safer way.
