I have a HDD that has Windows 10 on it, I want to upgrade to a SSD, problem is, I want to keep my videos, music, pictures. Can I plug in my SSD and pull data off of the HDD and drag it on my SSD?

Assuming you are booting from some other drive, yes, you can probably access the original drive and pull stuff off it.

So, once you have the OS on the SSD, then connect the HDD (do not boot from it) and see iff you can get to that stuff.
