    Absolutely yes.

    Upgrading HDD to SSD is a good way to improve your PC. My suggestion is install only OS on the SSD if the HDD still works. Then use the HDD as the secondary storage. This would save space on the SSD so you won't need to purchase SSD with large capacity. I am not sure what your OS is, but normally an SSD with 120 GB is enough for OS. And you can install some favorite programs if there has plenty disk space left after installing OS. 

    Clean install and cloning both work, yet if you want to keep all current personal settings, cloning is the best choice. You can learn more about transferring HDD OS to SSD here. Note that after either cloning or clean installing, you need to remove the old HDD or change boot settings in BIOS to test if the OS boots. If everything's OK, reformat the OS partition on the HDD under Windows PE mode (you cannot format it under Windows environment). 

    Regards.
