Boot PC from SSD

[yoyoran]

So i have windows 10 on my HDD and would like to boot my pc via the SSD. Also I would like to only copy the OS to the SSD and not other files, how do i do this?

That is not possible to copy the OS over. There are some tools that do this but the chances of it working would be more of a hassle than just reinstalling the OS.
Backup your files and install the SSD. Remove the HDD. Go into the BIOS and boot from DVD or USB. Make the SSD next boot device and go through the steps to install the OS on the SSD. Then you can install the HDD and format it and use it as a second drive.

Is it also possible to install Windows on the SSD with the HDD stil connected and then delete Windows on the HDD

Yes. You can use the boot cd and format the old hdd inside of the installer. Just be sure to install the os on the regular one and delete all the partitions off the HDD.
