Consider installing the SSD directly with Windows 10, or you could migrate Windows 8.1 from the HDD to Windows 10.

Transfer Windows 8.1 from the hard drive to the SSD, then upgrade. This maintains your license key and all files, desktop configuration, etc.

Use the Windows 10 installer for the upgrade; it's the simplest method
