Yeah there's usually a place in the BIOS that lets you set the boot priority to a specific drive, you'd have to check the manual for your computer / motherboard to see exactly how to do it.

I'd leave your existing drive for a while just to make sure everything is working, then format it once you're satisfied everything's fine, that's the easiest way without running into any permissions stuff that Windows will complain about when trying to delete all the stuff you don't need a copy of anymore. EDIT: Assuming you change the drive order, your new SSD should show up as C: and the old drive should now show up as D: or some other drive letter.

You may want to make a change to your existing drive AFTER you do the copy (i.e. put a text file c:\THISISTHEOLDDRIVE.txt) just so you're sure which is which lol, I think I remember having that problem once, not being sure I was deleting the right drive when both looked the same. You can go into Drive Manager to confirm too.
