Is ssd the boot drive? How did you transfer them? Copy/paste? That is one way to break programs.

Copy/paste works for steam games and maybe WOW, since the clients are just launchers, but trying to move most applications by simply using copy.paste will end up with broken Programs.

Does Starcraft work? Is the only problem its icon? If not, try using Revo uninstaller and see if it can clean up Starcraft so you can install it again - https://www.lifehacker.com.au/2011/08/the-best-app-uninstaller-for-windows/

NO reason you can't install games on hdd since most ssd aren't big enough yet to store everything. Just have to make sure to install them there the proper way.
