The main issue is that your SSD is smaller than the HD, so you will
need to shrink the last partition before you clone it.

Understood. Luckily the drive is fairly empty so it won't be a
capacity issue and most of the partitioning tools seem to be able to
allow for a resize on the fly (Acronis / Ghost etc).

I've seen some good words on the Samsung migration tool so I might
give that a look as well.

Acronis will shrink on the fly (and most of the drive specific tools are
rebadged versions of Acronis IME)

I'm not confident enough with the CLI to be able to do such.

Getting the computer "online" at the school often means installing the
school spyware and a certificate for their proxy server so that they
can inspect all the encrypted traffic.

That should ring alarm bells on any modern web browser - the site
certificates would no longer match.
