So I have a new SSD turning up today, and while I've been reading a lot of posts regarding data migration they have still left me with some questions. Some guides are a few years old, some only take into account copying a smaller amount of data than the new ssd (and leave out cleaning upnafterwards) and those that would help me aren't entirely clear 
So I'll list my questions and if somebody can help me out that's ace, otherwise I'll give it a go when the delivery arrives and hopefully it should all work out! :')
1. Naturally I don't want to do a clean install, so I'd like to migrate. Does the Samsung software allow me to specifically select the OS and a few games? If not, what is the best practice to separating these?
2. I can probably reduce the HDD size for a straight swap, if I do that is moving game files, program files such as CCleaner, and other media as simple as drag and drop back to my C drive?
3. Once all this is done, and if there's not much left on the hdd (I pretty much only have game screenshots, no music or videos), should I just reformat it? And then will it instantly be available as a storage drive?
4. Am I missing anything?
