OK...

Your OS was originally on the HDD?
Then you installed the OS on the SSD?

Correct?

The applications and drivers need to be installed again, with the new OS on the SSD.
The applications can be installed on whatever drive you choose, but where they are currently, those applications will not work.

Sort of.

What size are these drives?
What do you use the PC for?
How much space do you anticipate using?
