clone your SSD to your HDD drive but that will delete anything off your HDD. you could transfer any files (assuming they fit) to your SSD before cloning it and that would save your data. (or vice versa if i misunderstood which drive you want windows copied from)

You have Win 10 on the SSD? Then just change the boot priority in the BIOS.

How did you come to have both OS's?

EDIT: Also, after you change the boot priority, disconnect the HDD and verify it still boots correctly with only the SDD.

i'd do a multi boot at first with both OS's. go to bios and choose the windows 10 disk as primary boot. Boot up then transfer any essential files, game saves, etc you need from the win 7 2TB HDD to your SSD (assuming the fit, its temporary). Then format your HDD and re-transfer your files back.
