Transfer system from HDD to SSD with only one SATA port

My desktop has only one SATA port, with one HDD
I have a new SSD which I can connect to a USB port.
Can I put a system image onto this that will be bootable after I attach it to the SATA port?

I tried the Acronis software that came with the SSD, but that can't do it.
How about AOMEI Backupper Pro - can this do it?

    You can create a bootable CD or USB drive with Aomei Backupper, then clone the first disk to the one connected via USB.  Then put the new drive in the computer connected to the SATA port.  This should work.  Another option is to create a full disk image of the original drive, remove the old drive, install the new one, then use the bootable Aomei disk to restore the image onto the new drive.  You'll need to make sure that your bootable thumb drive is large enough to handle creating an image of the original hard drive if you use an image rather than clone.
