So I was wanting to build a pc with an ssd for my os, but just realised that i dont have enough. I was wondering, if I bought the ssd at a later date, would I be able to move the os onto the ssd?

Thanks,

its relatively easy not sure which ssd you plan to buy but samsung ssd's have an app that makes it just 2-3 click process.

Yes. Look up your manufacturer and search for "migration tool". That will help you move the OS from the HDD to the SSD.

Examples:
