Advice sought re HDD --> SSD migration

Hi I've recently decided to upgrade my main PC, running Debian Jessie, to use SSDs instead of HDDs. Right now I am halfway through the process, having done what I consider the easy part, and about to start the potentially more difficult part. The machine is a self-built circa 2009 machine with an
