Not quite. You have created installation media on the USB drive. Downloaded and saved means downloaded and saved.
We'll swap drives and get started once you are happy that you have made backups of the data that you wish to keep.0 -

As HDD is much bigger than the SSD so thought if I just copy everything over. then once the SSD is working I can copy things over as and when I need them, as the SSD is quite small. So only what to copy things over if I need them.

So next we hope that we can install to your SSD(replace it within the laptop).
Then you plug the installation media on the USB into the right hand side of the laptop. Restart the laptop and then keep pressing the F10 key every half a second, until you see a Boot Menu.
From the Boot Menu choose the USB Flash Drive if you can see it there.
If you cannot see it, try this;

Hi it's asking which type of installation do you want upgrade or custom
What happens to all the stuff already on SSD will that get deleted.0 -
Hi clicked on upgrade and it said can't do upgrade from USB. So clicked custom
But now it says Windows can't be installed on drive 0 partition 1 and when i click on the over one it says the same with that drive. Do I need to format the drive first. At the bottom of the page it says
Refresh
Delete
Format
New
Load driver

Custom (All will be deleted)
and then choose to delete all former partitions
Until you have only Unallocated Space
Then you can choose Next(not New as shown in the pic)

You can stop before; LET IT DOWNLOAD ALL THE UPDATES0 -
I've deleted drive and it now says
drive 0 unallocated space 232.6gb
But it's still saying Windows can't be installed on this drive. And when I click show details it says Windows cannot be installed on the disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table . On EFI systems. Windows can only be installed to GPT Disk0
