Okay, so i could get a 120Gb Ocz SSD from a friend for pennies since he has upgraded his storage.

1. My first question is:
If somewhere in the future i decide to buy another SSD, lets say a 240Gb Samsung Evo 850 can i keep these two running without a problem or would i need to have two same brand or and sized SSD's ?
In addition i have a 1tb Seagate HDD, will the combination of 3 different brand storage units conflict with each other in any way?

2. Question number two:
I will be installing Windows only on the Ocz for now, keeping all of my games and some other software on the HDD.
Is there a way to move my current Windows on to the SSD so that only the games and software will remain on the HDD?
Or do i need to start completely fresh, format everything and install Windows on to the SSD, then install every single game and software to the HDD again?
 
Solution
1. it´s just storage, all different kinds will not conflict in any way. Just

2. start freshly, better install the operating system + apps + games onto the SSD

Yes, there is. But only if your 1TB drive is partitioned in a way that OS partition is separate from your data/games partition and used space in OS partition is smaller than size of your new SSD.
If that's not the case, then you'll need to do full reinstall.

I cant quote you guys for some reason, im using this on mobile.
So basically the easiest route would be a complete fresh start? Is it a must to empty out the HDD too?
@helpstar i dont think i can fit all thay stuff on the 120Gb SSD, that is why i was thinking of installing Windows only on it, maybe a few apps too but i think ill keep my games on the HDD for now.
