Copying both 2 drives to NEW 1 drive

Thread needs solution

Current scenario;
2 drives installed on my laptop;
1) SSD 120GB (50GB used) - Used for Operating system and important program files
2) HDD 1TB (100GB used) - Used for non-important program files

New scenario;
I bought 1 SSD 512GB. I want to have both above drives put on this new 1 SSD. I tried to make full backup of laptop then restoring on my new SSD, but it wouldn't allow because it says that if my backup has 2 drives, then I need 2 drives for destination of recovery!

Ofcourse, I can not clone the above 2 drives to 1 drive (or is it possible?)

Can you please help me on how to have all partitions for both old drives moved to 1 SSD (I don't mind the partitions in new SSD).

PS/

1) Using Windows 10

2) Using Acronis True Image 2015 Build: 6613

Here is how to do what you want:

1) Restore the backup of the old C: drive to the new SSD drive using Acronis.
2) Turn off the computer and connect the 1 TB drive. Manually drag and drop the files from the 1 TB drive on to the new C: drive. Be careful to put things into the proper libraries (pictures into "my pictures", etc.).
