I really need help in making my computer launch faster so I went out and got a SSD but the problem is I do not know how to set it up to where it will boot faster. If anyone can help me I will greatly appreciate it.

Plug it into your computer using the power cables and SATA. (beforehand put Windows 10 installer on a USB) then, place the USB in restart your PC. When you see your BIOS screen hit one of the F keys to open "Select boot drive" and choose your USB. Then it will open the installer, Select the SSD and hit install.

Windows 10 will now be on your SSD ready for boot. In BIOS select that as your main boot drive and you should be good to go. After that you can then format your old HDD so it is clean.

You don't make it faster, it was made to be faster.

SSD's use flash storage instead of the mechanical platters found in regular HDD's. Meaning they don't have to spool up platters and then read from a head. SSD's just read from flash memory, like a giant USB stick with speeds that make loading OS's a dream.
