As above. Also, the biggest decider (for me) which way I would go is whether I can keep my OS license or not.
If not, then sure put in an SSD and install as fresh Win10/64. After that, then attach the old harddisk, to get any personal data off.

If you are just swapping drives over and not much else, there are many progs which can image drives. Many are free or trial.
Also, don't defrag an SSD. In fact turn off the service completely in "services". (right click My computer > manage>services)
No God, No fear.
