How do I go about setting up an SSD as my boot drive?
and setting up my hard drive as a normal D: drive mainly for storage.

Open the bios before booting, go to sub section for devices/hard drives. move your ssd to first position. Also when installing windows it can be set at the installation. windows should see it upon startup. Just install windows and make sure the SSD is set as (c:}. Oh reminder, don't defrag a SSD, it shorten the life of it.

Well before that, How do I install Windows to the SSD, do I just insert Disk and install to SSD drive before doing what you stated?

I used Macrium Reflect but the process is the same.

Shrink your install to a suitable size for the SSD, clone the disc.

Skip to step 5 if you already have the OS installed on the SSD.

What if I want to do it without cloning, Ill end up messing it up, and somehow corrupting the file by cloning. (Special like that hahahahahaha)

For clean OS install, first disconnect any extra drives to avoid an accidental format.

Then power on, enter the BIOS and set set Boot Options to:
{ 1 } Optical Drive { 2 } SSD

Insert your OS DVD Disc; save and exit. Then it should now boot to the OS disc.

Once you reach the first "system needs to restart" screen during OS installer, eject the OS disc, remove it. Then reboot. During next boot, change boot option in BIOS again and eliminate any extra Boot Drives so only the SSD remains in the list.

After the OS has completed the install and you reach the Desktop, then you can select Shutdown and hookup any extra drives u had, such as storage HDD. Upon next boot however, re-check the BIOS boot options to ensure the HDD is not now listed, otherwise it may boot to that (or try to).

Install the OS on the SSD then skip to step 5 to set up your folders on the HDD.

the easiest way and safer way it disconnect all you HD, just have your SSD connect, now install windows, windows installation will only see one drive, make sure your files are not password protect on your hard drive, backup you files to anther drive play safe.

the problem with cloning its takes a lot of time, another problem with cloning is however your windows performs at the time of cloning , you mite want a clean windows insulation you PC will run like new.

Cloning takes a lot of time? When was the last time u cloned drives?
It takes mere minutes in most situations. All depends on speed on Controllers, Drives, as well as how much compression is involved in the backup. If it is a straight-up drive-to-drive close, it is even quicker.

But idealy when u already have a HDD setup with the OS and such, you don't want to be cloning a HDD to SSD. Avoid that. Always do a clean OS install when SSD is involved. Unless perhaps u have an ISO backup of another SSD contents.

The reason is to ensure the SSD gets formatted properly and that TRIM get auto-enabled upon OS install to such drive type.

Unless perhaps u have an ISO backup (or other Drive Image type) from an already used SSD. As doing SSD-to-SSD clone is fine, or like I said, from a backup u already created at an earlier time.

As stated earlier simply remove all drives except the SSD and do a clean Windows install on that drive alone, best way to have clean OS with no issues. I did clone mine from my preexisting HDD, but the OS was fairly new on that drive to begin with so it transferred just fine. Only thing I ran into was "Windows Not Genuine" so I had to contact Microsoft Support and get the new drive relicensed...no problem at all. Just tell them your old drive failed and you replaced it.

My SSD came with cloning software from Samsung and it worked amazingly fast and cloned entire drive in under 30 minutes. Uninstall all programs except the OS and updates that's about it. Install a second drive for programs and games. Steam library mapped to new drive location without a hitch and install steam library there.

Such issues with Windows Updates can occur for all sorts of reasons.
Have u waited it out and see if WU continues normally after a while?

Also if WU is failing, that can be due to corruption with dot-NET Framework.

Another thing, u have Win8 and you update to 8.1; correct?
Why not just download the full 8.1 ISO and try a clean install of that?
