Hey there.

From what I understand you just want to remove one of your secondary storage drives and put an SSD on its place with all the data and programs you have on that HDD? If "yes", then you can simply clone the HDD onto the SSD. If the SSD is the same size as the HDD or larger you should have no issues with the cloning process. Most SSD manufacturers feature cloning tools for their devices, so I'd recommend that you use the one offered by your SSD manufacturer.
Once the cloning process is completed, you should change the drive letter of the SSD's partition with the one that was used by the HDD so that all the programs you have installed there can work properly. If you have only data without anything installed there, then there's no need for you to change the letters.

Here's how to change a letter: How to change the drive letter assignment in Windows.

Hope that helps. Please let me know how it goes.
