You just unplug your hard drive and install on your SSD, then set plug in your hard drive again and set your bios to boot from the ssd. You need to unplug your Hard drive so windows install doesn't have a conflict (it's really the easiest way), or make sure that your hard drive shows up as the primary hard drive (Drive 0).
