Running two programs is a waste of resources. If your program is missing things, it's a poor antivirus and should be dropped. If you insist on running two programs, only let one run and monitor your system in the background, otherwise you'll be back to square one with cruft taking over your system.

As for transferring your data to a new SSD, I forgot you'll need either an external hard drive or an external enclosure for your new SSD in order to temporarily transfer files or clone your data. If it were me, I'd copy my necessary files and start from scratch, reinstalling Windows just to be sure.

It's a lot of work to do this, as well! But I'll look into it regardless, it's something that I think I WILL do eventually, just might be awhile. Thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction and what-not, it is incredibly helpful!

I may be adept at using my computer, but I know next to nothing about how it works and stuff! 😋
