And
I am back,
verified the clone,
replace HDD with cloned SSD,
booted up and tested a Photoshop file.
No scientific stopwatch test but it felt quite a bit faster on boot and PS file loading; I would guess half to one third the time it tooked before with the HDD
The cloning software did it all automatically. Including partitioning just like the original HDD with Lenovo recovery and boot partitions set up and hidden. I did not have to make any setting changes.
