There is no need to 'secure erase' your SSD if you are keeping it. Secure erase is only necessary if, for example, you are selling it (or you are returning it to be checked for a fault) but you want to ensure that none of your data can be recovered .

You just need to format it in the usual manner for a Windows install. You can do that with the Windows installation media whilst running 'Windows Setup'.

Let's assume you did secure erase it. That doesn't format it anyway, it just returns the SSD to it's "out of the box" state. So you would still have to format anyway before you could use it again.
