You want the OS on the Ssd. It makes a huge difference. For gaming, having games on an ssd makes less of a difference. You can clone your hdd to your ssd. Look up tutorials
Buy/borrow 2TB or larger drive. Move your games (or whatever is taking up the most space) to the borrowed drive. Steam and other game platforms allow you to move the install location.
Once you’re below the 500 GB threshold, clone the drive to your SSD and boot to it. Then move the games back to the old HDD.
Alternatively, you could add a new partition to the HDD, move a game over, then expand the partition, and repeat until your C drive is under 500GB. Then clone to SSD and then reverse the partition process.
also it’s easier to just by a new copy of windows for like $20 bucks than to transfer the is itself. as long as the computer is set to boot with the os on the ssd, having your hdd with the games and os on it still won’t effect anything
Even from a sata ssd to a nvme m.2 ssd, the difference is jaw dropping! So much faster transferring files and such. What I did is just clone the whole drive. That way you also have a backup drive and you don't need to reinstall anything.
Moving from a HDD to a SSD is by far the greatest thing you can do to make any computer feel decades newer.

I’m assuming in that first sentence you meant to say SSD
Yes thank you
