i want to format the hdd

I would still unplugg it because Windows has been known to try and install bits on other drives during install.

After you do the install you can plug the drive back in, boot off the SSD install (set it to be primary boot priority in BIOS) and then use Disk Management to format the drive after.

easeUS todo backup will allow you to copy a drive to another drive. How big is the SSD, and how much space have you used up on your hard drive?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

If you want to start fresh:

Download the installation creation tool from here:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

Point it to a USB

Shut down your computer and disconnect the HDD

Power on and it should boot from the USB, otherwise go into BIOS and set the USB to be the first boot device.

Go through the install prompts.
