Just make sure when you are installing the OS that only the SSD is connected. Reason being that it just makes sure to minimize human error and prevent you from installing to the wrong storage device. If you have an extra slot still just keep the old HDD for even more storage. Or, use your two new drives (SSD and 2TB HDD) for windows and your old HDD for Linux and to tamper around with and learn.
