That would be so wonderful but Windows doesn't allow.

If you decide to go ahead anyway, inventory how much space each takes: OS, Apps executives, Apps data, then u can plan for how big this SSD needs be.

You can have content of the HDD intact when you install Windows from scratch onto SSD. You can use your music / photos / videos off the HDD after fresh Windows install. But if that HDD contains also saved / downloaded games, most probably you will have to start from scratch.
