So i have just purchased a new SDD, i would like to know the easiest way to keep my Windows 10 installation on my original SDD but move all the programs onto the new SSD.
Thank you

You can't split it like that.
What size/make/model are these drives?
 


I assume you want the old drive "for the OS" and the new drive " for programs, games and videos" kinda thing. If you could, and did, try a clone app, and cloned the old disk to the new, then you just end up with duplicate drives, not what I assume you want. Separating out programs, games, etc from the OS and transferring working versions to another drive is generally impossible except for steam games. A few windows folder contents can be redirected from the old to the new. A simple but tedious way to arrange total separation is to install the new drive as a storage drive and then reinstall all the programs onto the new drive.
