There are two methods - first, you remove the hard drive and install your SSD, then install the OS as a fresh install. After completed, add your HDD back in and change your data locations to the hdd.

Second is the migration tools - if you buy a Samsung SSD, they give you one free. This will transfer the contents you choose to the SSD for you.

Uhm I upgraded to windows 10. so I will use the media tool do I have to enter product key?

I haven't tried this yet....the migration tool should work...The license is tied to your mobo/cpu supposedly.....so if you did method one, it shouldn't ask for a product key, as microsoft's database should have your mobo/cpu hash already in there.

No you will not have to enter any product key. You can (hopefully) clean install on the SSD once you have created the install media.

Or, if the sizes are sufficient, you can try one of the migration tools.
How large is your SSD, and how much total space is used on your current C drive?

Assuming your HDD is not absolutely full, you can probably try one of the current cloning applications.
Easus Todo, Macrium Reflect, Acronis Trueimage, Casper.

Download one of them. They are pretty self explanatory, and all have help files.

This is the Macrium Reflect tool

Click on Clone this drive

Select a target drive. The SSD.
Go.

I still need to install the ssd right?

Well, yes. It would be hard to select a drive that is not connected.

I mean the OS.

You have to have both drives connected. The one currently containing the OS, and the new SSD.
HDD = source, SSD = target.
