Is it possible to play the games you have installed on a HDD storage drive while booted in the SSD, i've been trying to simply click on the application from my HDD but it usually doesn't work and has an error or trys to update. Is there a way to fix this through registry or whatnot.

What USAFret is saying is: You need to re-install the games to get them to work. It doesn't matter where you install them, HDD or SSD, you just need to reinstall them so that the installation will change the registry.

They need to be installed properly, through the new OS on the SSD. You can designate wherever, but the new OS and its Registry has to know.

Yes, that will work.
When you click on 'Install', you should have the option of where. Select somewhere on the HDD.
