If you have 241gb of files then yes. You will need to look up how to do it properly so the OS still works (unless you already know how).

Although in reality your O/S and high end games are the only files that really "need" the SSD's speed.  Other files such as word docs and music and such can remain on your current HDD

That is unless you only have the one free SATA port.

Is 12 seconds boot time bad? how about 14 seconds?

Yeah I have a few too many HDD's.  I thought i fried two in the middle of a rebuild and ordered new only to find with some reformatting and other skullduggery I could make the others work

12 secs is pretty decent honestly.  My SSD takes around 4

That's not slow at all for an HDD... Is that really your issue? You can try to optimize your PC so you get better performance in general but those start times are fine.
