You may already know how to perform the below, but just in case.
Clone your main HDD (this is where your Windows Operating System resides) over to the new SSD.
Do this by plugging the SSD into one of the available Sata ports (the next one in line to be used).
Use a program like "Acronis" to make an image of your existing Operating System HDD.
This image will be the entire drive, everything...
Do not store the image on the SSD when you make it.
Use this image to write the SSD.
Then physically swap your HDD with the newly cloned SSD. You can do this by swapping their Sata port connections. Most PCs Boot from Sata Port 0 or 1, which ever is first.
Your system will not know the difference except for it will always run faster.
I did leave out a lot of details, but this is the basics.
