How to setup my SSD

[QueenObama]

So i got a Samsung 840EVO for only 60 bucks brand new. Its 256GB. What should i use this for? How would i put my OS onto it ? i cant just migrate all of the data because im using 400G out of 1TB  so all of that wont fit onto the SSD. Should i just put like steam games? Whats the best thing , and how do i do it? My harddrive is the Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

I'd recommend doing a fresh install of your OS onto the new SSD. Once you get steam re-installed, you should be able to point it to your old steam games directory without having to re-download them all.

Make a backup of your data and reinstall Windows onto your SSD. You will have to reinstall all your programs, but Steam is portable so you can keep your games.
