I think EaseUS will be my cloning tool of choice. It even
allows me to re-allocate the partition sizes BEFORE I do the
clone, if I want.

In this screenshot, I simply dragged the C partion boundary to
about 64GB (from its original 35GB), and it automatically
"borrows" from the unused H partition and resizes that
accordingly.

So, it would seem that I could FIRST simply clone the hdd to
ssd as-is, install the ssd into the pc, boot, and THEN run
EaseUS to resize the partitions after that!
