Hi there barisalpek,

You need to take the HDD out of the system, attach the SSD, boot from OS CD(go to BIOS and adjust the boot order so your system can boot from the CD), perform the installation.
After that you can attach your HDD, get all the data that you need and reformat the HDD. (in order to get rid of the OS files)
There are quite a lot of tutorials on how to install OS on the internet.

If you don't have much data stored on the HDD, you can consider cloning as well. This would create a copy of your system and put it on the SSD. That way there would be no need to perform clean OS install.
