Put SSD in, insert windows installation media, install windows, done

Disconnect your other drives first. Or you'll end with bootloader on one drive and windows on another.

Put SSD in, insert windows installation media, install windows, done

No (and you can't).

Disconnect all other drives
Install on the new SSD
Later, reconnect the old drive, then you wipe it

1. Remove your old HD
2. insert the new SSD
3. insert the USB
4. Turn on the PC and go to the bootloader and boot from USB and install Windows 10 on your new SSD.
5. Connect Old HD and delete all the stuff you want to remove.

Peace.

But what about Windows that is on the old drive?

Once you install the clean OS on the new drive (with only the new drive connected), and then verify the boot order in the BIOS....whatever is on the old drive is just taking up space.

Delete all partitions on it, use as needed.

One last question about SSD, so my socket on my laptop is B key edge connector (the one on the right), but im looking to buy 120.0 GB KINGSTON SSDNow SM2280S3G2/120G, M.2, SATA 3 which has B & M key. Will that SSD fit and will i be able to use it as bootable device?

If your mobo has a M2 slot, then it will fit it, dont confuse M2 drives with PCI drives
