Hi

Primary and secondary drives may indicate sata controller set in ata compatible mode instead of ahci mode which is recommended on modern pc's and those with SSD

Usually easier to install windows on ssd if hard disk disconnected especially if hdd previously had windows operating system on it
Once windows booting up off SSD reliably the hdd can be re connected

Another possibility is uefi/bios setting for which ssd or hdd is the boot device is wrong
