yeah but you can install windows first, then plug in your HDD, drag your files over to the SSD, then format the HDD so its clean

 

after that you can move any files you want to the HDD for more permanent storage

No. You really should do a fresh install. Then you can transfer stuff from the HDD to the SSD. Some SSD's come with cloning software so it will clone your whole HDD.
