No, but whatever you put on the SSD WILL be improved.

Specs of your current system?
And what SSD are you considering?

And the motherboard?
What is the size of your current HDD?

Be careful about the thought of "transfer my os there". You can't transfer "only the OS".

Done correctly, it is a lot easier than you might think.

And there may be other options rather than a 500GB NVMe drive + HDD.
