How to Set SSD As Boot Drive

"I want to get a solid state drive for my desktop computer but all my data and windows copy is already installed on my 1TB hard drive. Is there any way I could transfer the Windows copy onto the SSD for boot up and then use the other TB hard drive for extra storage? I'm slightly confused on how to set SSD as a boot drive. Any help would be appreciated."

Nowadays, more and more people choose to upgrade hard drive to SSD (short for solid state drive) for faster read and write speed and lighter weight. However, SSD is usually designed with smaller volumes than those of traditional HDD. In order to achieve a high-performance combination between faster SSD and larger HDD, people would prefer to use it as boot drive while having the HDD of a larger capacity to store personal data, files and applications.
