Hi,
It should be OK, how are you trying to install the image? Try Macrium reflect free to create the whole disk image of your original HDD, create a bootable rescue disk with same program.
1. Install Macrium Reflect and run the program.
2. Make an image backup of the current HDD on another external drive.
3. Create a bootable recovery disk using a USB disk.
4. Remove the HDD and install the SSD, connect the USB disk.
5. Go to BIOS, in Boot tab make USB disk as the first boot, save and exit.
6.Connect the extrnal drive and recover the image on to SSD.
