It connects exactly like a HDD to the motherboard but you might need a bracket for fitting 2.5" drive in a 3.5" bay. On startup enter BIOS and select ACHI for your drives then reboot from optical drive and select the SSD as your drive to install windows on.

Depending on the size of your SSD and the volume of apps you install, you may need to look into how to install some apps / games on the storage HDD. Of course, an SSD big enough for all your installations is preferred.
Have fun.
