So, i have a 1 TB HDD hard drive that is almost half full, getting slower, over time, and boot is slow, so i got a PNY 240GB SSD for boot and games.

I don't have the windows 7 installation disk with me right now, so is there any way that i can make Windows start up on the SSD while keeping all of my files?

There is no way to load just windows onto the SSD. To clone a SSD, you have to have a big enough SSD, one that will comfortably fit all the stuff that is on the HDD. Do a fresh install of windows. Used to you could download a ISO file of any windows 7 but not anymore. Borrow a win7 disk or an ISO file from someone that downloaded it a while ago. You will need the activation key.
