plug the drive in
make sure in the bios it shows up
in windows 10 right click on the windows icon
bring up disk management.
you should see two disk.
one size of the ssd the other the new drive.
the ssd should have system and restore partion on it. so dont tuch that drive.
select the other drive and click on format.
if you want to go lower click on remove all partions and make new ones and format it with the new windows format.
