How to transfer the system to an SSD with minimal effort?

Good afternoon. I decided to move the system to an SSD. At the moment, the system configuration is as follows:
1Tb HDD, which is divided into two sections: under Windows and under Linux (all in one section).
I think to buy an SSD for 200 gigs, also split it in half and similarly use part of it for the Windows + Photoshop swap file, and the second one for Linux.
If everything is more or less clear in Windows: just specify in the settings where to write the paging file, then which folders on Linux should be transferred to the solid-state drive? Swap partition? /bin? /etc? What is the easiest way to do this? There is no desire to reinstall the system (both Windows and Debian) entirely.
Well, just do, the pros and cons of such an implementation?

On the contrary, they try to remove all temporary files (paging, swap ... whatever you call it) from the SSD - you will kill the SSD by overwriting it.
Full Linux boot (for me) 8 sec. (with GUI, DM) from power on.
Some actions (compiling the Linux kernel) are 4 times faster ... for others, you will hardly notice the acceleration.

What kind of crazy idea is it about transferring a swap to an ssd? Transfer exactly the entire system and software, and leave the file dump on the HDD. Applies to both systems.
