Keep you 300GB hard drive plugged in, then install your SSD. Then transfer the files, then disconnect your hard drive

So I'm gonna upgrade my 300ish gb hard drive to a 480gb ssd, how do I back up the data and move it back when Windows is installed? I have a second 1tb drive with enough space to fit the 300gb drive on it.

You can clone your OS, apps, and files from your HDD to your SSD using software like Macrium Reflect.
