yes, you will want to re-install your OS on the SSD for the fast boot.

what do you mean "oh, is this and OEM copy?" i just have windows7 copy

 

[Robert Cook]

meant to type oh is this an OEM copy? so let me get this straight, you bought a copy of windows 7 yes? you still have the product key right? just back up you files on the old disc, deactivate windows 10, wipe it, and you should be able to install the OS on the SSD with no issues. then just put the backed up stuff back on the old disc.
