My current storage drive is a WD 1TB and I've a lot information and games in it. Only 300Gb left and so I decided to buy a SSD(Samsung EVO 815 500GB)
I want to make SSD my primary(For games) and I want to keep my HDD as a storage.

~Can I use my same windows disk's key again and install it on my new SSD?

~How can I transfer value information and games in my HDD to my SSD?

~How can I format HDD after installing windows to my SSD?

1. Yes, if W10 than you don't even need that.
2. Steam has utility to transfer games to new system disk, some other ones you may have to reinstall. Other, like personal files you can just copy to wherever you want.
3. You can re-partition and format old HDD from windows or use any of number of programs like http://www.pcdisk.com/ for instance.
