Is it possible to boot the windows 8.1 restore feature on an HD and chose to fresh intall it on a SSD volume on the same computer?

I upgraded mobo and processor on my PC, and for the sake of it got a brand new SSD, but all my system files are on the HDD, wich will become just a media storage for me. Since i went from AMD to Intel, my old windows installation will be completely useles due to driver conflicts, but i was hoping to restore a fresh intallation from HDD to SSD.
