Yes im gonna start to read and learn about it since its my first upgrade. Maybe you can answer me:
I know I will format the ssd with windows and install a fresh one, but what about the HDD drive, I have some stuff there I dont want to lose. Is it ok to just format the ssd and leave the hdd with data?

When you install the OS on the SSD, the HDD will be physically disconnected. Connect it after the system is running on the SSD>


But really, you should have a backup of that data anyway.
