Step 1 - install windows on your SSD.
Either by cloning your original hard drive
Or by installing windows from scratch then installing all the drivers and programs you need.

Step 2. Check that your PC boots runs using only the SSD

Step 3 Reconnect the old HDD... it should be identified as drive D:/ or drive E:/

Step 4 Delete all the windows directories from your HDD, freeing up space for games or whatever.
