Thanks for replaying, but all what you wrote, i have have a 0% knowledge in that, so i be grateful if you can be more specific or help me with guides.
P.S.
there was extra place for the new SSD that i installed, so i have both of them plugged in.

Use this tutorial: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/9230-download-windows-10-iso-file.html to download W10 and make a bootable USB installation.
Replace old drive with SSD and install windows. Once you finish, you can also install old drive and clean it up so you can use it for storage.

Very Important! As said above, make sure the old HDD is NOT connected while you install Windows to the new SSD, or the boot manager files "may" get installed to the HDD, which you don't want to happen. Because once you get Windows installed on the SSD and the HDD is connected later, if you format the HDD, Windows will no longer boot up if the boot files are gone.

There are some good YouTube videos as well. Watch a few and you will feel more comfortable.
Here are some additional tips:
Here are some additional tips:
■ to reinstall Windows you need to put the operating system on a USB drive. You do this using the Windows Media Creation Tool. Google that.
■ when you go to reinstall Windows, only have the SSD connected. Get your system running with the SSD as the boot drive before you reintroduce the old HDD
