I recently got a new 850 evo 500 gb ssd, and the problem is that I have ALL my stuff on my current hard drive. I was wondering if there was a way to transfer only certain things to my ssd. I do not want to clone the drive to my ssd because I don't have enough room on my ssd. Is there a way to transfer Windows 8.1 to my ssd so it will boot faster? And I also want to transfer programs like photoshop, after effects and stuff like that. Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks for reading :)

Quick question on that. Do I have to buy another Windows 8.1 cd and code for 100 dollars or can I just use the one I have now?
