New SSD Install Noob Question

So im getting a new SSD as i stupidly bought a 60gb one, even with nothing but windows on it its getting pretty full.

when i get my new one iknow the process of re instaling windows on it ect ect

my quesiton is i have a 2tb harddrive aswell which as steam ect on it, would i have to reinstall everything on the harddriv, as my mate says that it might not work due to the registery not recognising it / or something on those lines.

anyone got any ideas? would i have to reinstall or just be fine installing the SSD?
