so long as you leave the hdd alone and don't overwrite the information on it

just unplug it while installing windows on the ssd.

so ssd is empty 120gb, hdd is 500gb and around 250gb are free.

This is kinda crazy but if you want more space of the hdd just install ssd windows, then uninstall all things that you can just download again, bring over files you need, wipe the hdd, give it a number, transfer over files back to hdd if needed and install games where wanted.

you can install anything to whatever directory you like but the ssd is where you usually want the program files to be.
