Can someone, with computer knowledge, please share their experiences in the process of migrating all of the programs, data, applications from an old computer to a new one?

I believe there is software out there that makes this process "easy". I would appreciate responses from anyone that may have gone thru this and what might be the best method to use. I may know may way around computers, but I do not consider myself any sort of expert.

Please help!
I am paying a professional (in MA) $130 for them to install a new "Solid State" hard drive into my existing computer. Part of the new install is to "Mirror" the data I had on my old computer (hard drive) onto the new hard drive. That way when you turn on the computer with the new hard drive it looks and acts exactly like the old computer set-up. Hope this works.
