I once tried and it didn't work properly. That being said, there is no reason not to do it, Samsung is great, don't bother trying to learn how to use an expert tool for one use

Haven't used clonzilla in a while so don't remember the learning curve but if you're on a Mac CCC couldn't be easier (though now that I think about it may not have been free- can't remember)

So you'd say I should try samsung migration?

Yes, it can't hurt and it's simple to use

Sounds very simple,  but you said you had issues,  what was it?

I don't remember what it was but after going thru the process it errors out at the end

It should say Samsung or you can look by capacity

You may need to take off secure boot, you may need to change to legacy boot.

The problem was that the cable wasn't well connected , after connecting it it booted automatically into the SSD without having to change anything .
 It's really a huge difference in speed , i have a core i7 and it still made a major difference .

Thanks for all your help !

The slowest part of a computer is the hard drive, if you give it a massive performance boost you will see a huge difference even if the other hardware is top of the line because it speeds up the bottleneck

Okay.  So you say that I should rather go with the software that where verified working,  but I doubt that samsung migration which actually came with my ssd is bad.

I doubt it's good- companies put out software like that all the time and it's usually terrible
But by all means use what you'd like- just saying what I would use

I used it and it was super simple , fast , and good

Is it possible to have my computer connect to two networks/internet connections at once, and use whichever is faster at the moment?

I asked it somewhere upthread. Basically, IIRC, it cannot jump from one to another but will use whichever has a higher IP or some other coding number.

what os are you running, and what network card do you have

This let's you use ethernet and wifi together http://lifehacker.com/how-to-combine-multiple-internet-connections-into-one-s-1699431630

Windows 7 on my desktop, 10 on my laptop. I don't know what network card I have

Right now they're both wireless, but I could probably set one up to be wired if I get ahold of a staple gun. I'll take a look at those links, thanks!

What do you mean by that?
