Proper transition from HDD to SSD?

Question

Hard disks

Hello everyone The

question is hackneyed, but I would like to clarify a few nuances for a clear understanding.

Given: HDD disk for 1 TB. Partitioned into drive C (system 180 GB) and drive D (multimedia 750 GB)
Ordered HDD: Samsung MZ-V7S250BW 250 GB to use purely under Windows + software.

Questions: 1. What is the best way: to install a new Windows on an SSD or transfer the old one? It doesn’t matter to me in general, but for some reason everyone writes about the transfer and no one about the installation is clean. How is it better?
2. After installing / throwing Windows on the SSD. Can I format the HDD completely and use ACRONIS to merge the old C / D partitions into one common disk, for example "M" - multimedia 1 TB.

Thanks a lot
