How to move everything on one drive to another and keep it working?

Clone it using something like Acronis True Image Home 2012?
As long as you assign the new drive the same letter as the old one so that program's can still find the data etc, it should be fine. TIH 2012 also aligns SSD partitions properly now too.
It depends on the games you have installed, but some of them will work out they've been cloned and ask for re-registration, at least FSX did for me.

Is the Arconis program free?
I deleted everything on my Raid 0 HDDs that wasnt needed / backed up whatever I still needed to a 2 tb drive and its down to just 300 Gb of games, so I need to copy over all 300 Gb to the SSD, then change it to the same drive letter (D: ), then format and stick my F3s on Ebay.

No Acronis isn't free, but its a worth while investment. I've been using it at work and at home for years and its always worked extremely well. Otherwise you can try David's suggestion and try Todo backup, which is free for non-commercial use and by all accounts is a pretty good product.
