yes only on the SSD

if you plug in the HDD it should show up in "my computer" and you can just right click and format

Yep, if you already have ssd with os on it, if what was said above doesent work. go into disk management and right click and press create new volume (i think) and follow the instructions.

If you want to remove everything, back up important files to portabel hdd and then connect both drives that you want to format and put in windows disk/usb then format all drives and clean install windows, drives will be formatted and you will have windows again :)
