Back up everything important on your current install, so any pictures, videos, work files etc.
Assuming you are using the standard installation disc, put the SSD in your system as you would any hard drive. Put the disc in the DVD drive and boot up from it. Follow the on screen instructions which will take you through the installation. At the end you will have your nice shiny new Windows 7 system up and running.
Last thing to do is to go to Disk Defragmenter and disable the automatic defrag. All you have to do is untick the schedule box and it is done. SSD's do not get fragmented as a hard drive would and to try to defrag the drive will not affect performance but reduce the lifespan of the drive.
After that, you are done, treat it as a normal hard drive from here on out
