Windows 10: How can I move just the OS to my SSD?

My laptop came with a 1 TB hdd and a 128 GB ssd. I've used up approximately 700 GB of the hdd and have noticed it has been slower. After now understanding that the SSD would be much faster, I want to move just Windows 10 to the ssd so I can boot from it but still have my programs and what not on the hdd. Does anyone have any idea how to do this (if possible)? Thank you!

For some clarification, I had to install Windows myself at the beginning, and having not known much, I put it on the hdd. Now the ssd just serves as a place to store some files.

64Gb SSD for OS or 2Tb HDD for storage ?!

I suggest that you get the 2tb for storage. SSDs are only useful if you want to boot things fast like OS and programs. I actually suggest you get both if you have that many movies.

Move OS to SSD leave data in HDD

To do so, follow the steps below:

Step 1.
Clone OS to SSD.

Step 2. Enter into BIOS and set the SSD as the first boot disk.

Step 3. Change the old drive to D:\ (you'd better do a disk backup of the old drive in adavance).

Hope my answer will give you a hand.
