so my kingston Hyper x 3k 120 gb broke a few days ago, i dont know how but i tried everything to see if it was still working but i came to a conclusion that it died. My kingston ssd had my os and a few other files such as games and programs which i dont mind redownloading when i got another ssd.Everything such as games,picture,programs,downloads,music, and many other folders were all saved to my 1 tb hard drive which still works.I ordered a new ssd which is the samsung 850 evo 120 gb and it just came today, so i will install the os which is windows 8 and then what do i do with me getting access to all the program,games and folders i have on my hdd?

would i be still able to just look for the games or progams in my hdd and just run them or would i have to install them again?
