I have a 640gb wd black for storage and was wondering if I could remove the data from it, place it on the desktop, buy a 1tb, format it and then put the 640gb stuff onto the 1tb. Is it that simple?

Then your desktop folder is on the SSD!
Being a desktop then you can just add the second drive as a storage, you should have spare SATA connectors.

That is what I am presuming! If the drive is full I am hard pressed to believe he would have space for 640GB in his desktop folder on the OS drive.
If it is a desktop then the simple solution is to add another drive.

I do have the sata connectors, I just wanted to get rid of my 640gb for now because the 1tb is better than my 640gb, but I guess I'll just add the 1tb and keep my 640gb, so now i'll have over a terabyte and half along with my SSD lol. thanks for ur help guys

Makes the most sense, then you do not have to uninstall and reinstall programs. You can as well then transfer what you want and then remove the 640GB drive.
