Wait. How do I format the brand new SSD in MBP after swapping? I think 
Recovery has to be on the installed drive? Does MBP's firmware have its 
own recovery or something?

Quote of the Week: Allah's Apostle said, "Once while a prophet amongst 
the prophets was taking a rest underneath a tree, an ant bit him. He, 
therefore, ordered that his luggage be taken away from underneath that 
tree and then ordered that the dwelling place of the ants should be set 
on fire. Allah sent him a revelation: 'Wouldn't it have been sufficient 
to burn a single ant (that bit you)?'" --Translation of Sahih Bukhari, 
Book 54, Number 536
