Laptop can support only one drive, so you cannot connect your SSD to your laptop without removing the old HDD.

I upgraded my kid's laptop to a SSD. I have to do a clean install.

For desktop, I just connect the SSD drive to the motherboard and let the Acronyx software (come with Intel SSD) did the rest.

If you buy a Samsung SSD in the "laptop upgrade" version, it comes with a USB-to-SATA connector. Plug it into the laptop, run Acronis or Macrum disk clone, swap the drives and you're all set. That's what I did for two of our laptops.
