Chapter 1 of the service manual doesn't indicate that you can, but I don't see why you couldn't.

 

You would most likely have to remove Windows from the 2.5" mechanical hard drive, or the notebook will always try to boot from the mechanical hard drive.

 

What I would do is temporarily disconnect the 2.5" drive and make sure you can boot from the SSD with Windows on it.

 

If it works, connect the 2/5" drive back up and have your windows installation disk and make like you are going to install Windows on the 2.5" drive.   When you get to the part of the installation that asks, where do you want to install Windows, delete every partition on the hard drive, leaving just one partition of unallocated space.

 

Then format the partition, exit out of the installation, shut down the PC and see if it boots from the SSD and the hard drive shows up as storage.
