I am upgrading my machine(selfbuilt) to run on an SSD(250gb).

I want to put my OS and common apps on it, I know I am not exactly reinvinting the wheel here in terms of complicated questions, but I want to upgrade my OS at the same time(or before/after whatever is easiest) when installing the SSD. I am currently running win8 and would like to upgrade to 10.

I have looked for guides online but they are either unhelpful or too complicated.

Thank you.

EDIT:

The new SSD is a Samsung EVO 850 250gb.

I am assuming this comes with a software to help with this?

I did this except it was from windows 7 to 10

All I did was move my SATA connections so that my new boot drive was going to the first port, and moved my previous boot drive to the subsequent ports, this probably doesn't matter since you can choose boot drive, but I did it anyway since I pretty much swapped out most of the parts

I then created a bootable Win 10 installation usb, installed the SSD and booted the USB from the boot menu, and then you can choose which drive to put the W10 install on, from that point on, you just follow the instructions until it's installed

I can still access my previous boot drives as storage
