Windows 10: Upgrading SSD while retaining all the data

I am currently having 128GB SSD on my HP Laptop with original Windows 10. I am planning to upgrade the SSD to 512GB. I have a lot of my software, servers installations, development environments created and manually settings with the port numbers. Is it possible to upgrade to new SSD with all these configurations as it is? Can I transfer all these installations and configurations from my 128GB SSD to the newly bought 512GB SSD? I'm currently having 160GB of installations in SSD + 300GB in HDD(only softwares).

:)

 

Is this amount of Data writen normal for a SSD?

I don't use SSD, since I heard that SSD has a very limited time for writes. And every time, you write something, it erases whole piece and write again together with the new to storage. Tip also suggests us to leave 1/4 SSD space for temporary storage. Or trouble will come.
Tips also recommend us to leave SSD for OS, and HDD for programs and data.
If your data is OS data, then there is nothing to do.

 

Will the software and other data retain after upgrade to Windows 10?
