If you're replacing the old drive with the new one - you'll have to re-install every program - and copy any saved game (and other personal data) onto the new SSD drive.

If you're adding an SSD drive as an extra storage device, you can leave all your programs on the old drive - and just move any user data to the SSD. It's entirely up to you as to how you go about it.
