Solution
You currently hav a working PC with Win 8.1, and you want to install the SSD in place of the HD? Provided yo SSD is big enough for everything on yo HD, jus use the cloning software that came with the SSD - plug it into a spare SATA slot, install t cloning software, clone, turn off t PC, remove the old HD, reboot, et voila
