pull out the HDD and acctually test everything is working. If it is then you can format your HDD and use it for large file storage.

TO BE SURE: unplug HDD and see if it boots from SSD. Set the boot priorities to the SSD.

If everything goes well, reformat your hard drive.

Have you checked if there is a windows installation on the SSD when booting from the HDD?

If you wanna know if your system is booting off of your SSD, go into your BIOS and check for something that says "Primary Boot Drive" or something along those lines. If it isnt already the SSD, Im quite sure you should be able to easily change it from there.
