Help with SSD setup

[jg216]

Don't want to be annoying, but I could use some help.
Let's say my Macbook Pro 13" high end model 750gb hard drive comes in the mail the same time as my Crucial M4 256 GB SSD, and my usb 3.0 enclosure.

What is the simplest way to install Lion on my new SSD? Step by step please

You could clone the HDD to the SSD in the enclosure, as there is no need for a fresh install yet, as everything is still fresh. You can use CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper! for that.

Assuming you have a Solid install of OS X on your current drive with no issues, I would just clone the old drive to the new. If you've been having problems however, you are just going to transfer those issues to the new drive. In that case, I would suggest a fresh install and migrating over the apps/data you need.
