Question about moving Windows 10 onto an SSD

Question about moving Windows 10 onto an SSD. I bought a new computer, cheap but speedy. It came only with a 256GB SSD with pirated programs on it. I have now fitted my old hard drive with genuine programs on it. I have Googled for info and the results are numerous and sometimes conflicting. Any advice from your similar experience would be much appreciated. I cannot screw this up.

The SSD wants to dominate even though I have set BIOS and BOOT to use the HDD. My question is I want is to move only the Windows and essential apps to the SSD but keep everything else on the hard drive. If I do a clean install of Windows 10 on the SSD, I assume I will have to reinstall all the programs that were installed through Windows in the past onto the HDD.

Once again thanks for any advice on this.
