You need to clone the drive. Or do fresh install. Either way you can find tons of guides and topics here, youtube and all over internet.

just replace the hdd with ssd and then reinstall windows, you can copy your data from your old hdd with some cheap usb-sata converter

First you need to deactivate current installation. After that its like installing to new computer. Remember to backup your stuff from HDD before doing anything further to it. I'd recommend formatting it after you have installed windows again and before installing any software on it.

Using the windows installer DVD or create a bootable USB
