You can use Macrium Reflect (there's a free non-commercial version) to backup your disk to an external drive before swapping the drive.

There is written 'SSD' on its cover, and I'm confused now. Actually I need to disconnect the HDD and then install new OS on the SSD, and now I'm not sure if the drive that you just removed is SSD or HDD because on mine it say SSD. Please help me out.
