Im planning on putting an SSD into my laptop because it will not only serve as a bit of storage, but I want to boot windows 10 from it. So Lets start off by showing my laptop model: Asus Rog GL551JW- WJ71(WX) and I am certain I can put an SSD inside of it,

just refer to this video here:

With that being said, I have some questions: How do I go about putting windows 10 onto the SSD? And what do I do to the one on my HDD? Then....have any of you done this to your laptop and would you recommend it? I am still in the stages of looking for an SSD....i believe it is an MSATA mini SSD...

i was looking at this one here

it is 32 gb....but for windows alone I think that is perfectly fine....let me know if you guys have any tips/recommendations for me...im all ears! (and again....how do i put windows on it!?)
 
Solution
It's never "Windows alone", even if you install programs on secondary drive some of staff is still installed in primary drive. 32GB is way too small for any Windows. I wouldn't consider anything less than 120GB to be usable.
As for windows, you can install them clean or clone from existing disk if there's enough space on primary drive.

It's never "Windows alone", even if you install programs on secondary drive some of staff is still installed in primary drive. 32GB is way too small for any modern Windows plus there needs to be at least 10GB of free space for it's proper work.
