If I move my OS on my SSD will the whole computer go faster or just the loading windows time? Or if I want to have faster loading times on games I have to move my games on the SSD?
Thank you.

SSDs are great for reducing boot/shutdown times, increasing responsiveness, reducing file access times, etc.; most elect to store data less often retrieved to hard drives...

Whatever is on that SSD will be "faster".
Things on other drives run at whatever speed those drives are.

So if I install windows on the SSD only the windows loading time will improve. The games instlled on my HDD will not get an improvement in loading times.

Correct.
The system is reading the game data from the drive where it lives, the HDD.
