Yes, you most certainly can.

The drive you install Windows on is your C: drive and other drives you add can be any letter from D-Z (usually people just choose D:).

When installing a program or saving a file, you can specify what drive it should be installed/saved to. There you can choose your NVME C: drive or HDD D: drive.

Do what specifically?

You install Windows on your SSD (because you want that speed in it starting up), then go into Disk Management and you can assign a letter to your HDD.

 

As for how to install Windows on your drive, this video by Paul's Hardware does a really good job of explaining it:

If you don't want to watch the full video, there are timestamps. The timestamps of interests are from 1:00 - 10:00, but the entire video is very helpful so I recommend it to you, if you're not too familiar with setting up a PC/installing Windows.
