So if I unplug the drives and than replug theme after installation will windows recognise theme without the need to format theme?

Ye,p, you can just start using them.

So if I do a clean install of Windows 10 will that wipe all my drives or only the one that I am installing it on. 

 

I have 2 drives:

1. SSD: this is where I want to install it

2. HDD: two partitions:

   A: personal stuff

   B: hackintosh

 

So if I install windows 10 to my SSD will the HDD and it's partitions stay untouched by windows 10?

Unplug all drives except the OS one before starting the installation.

When you get to this screen, delete everything until you are left with "unallocated space":

Then select the unallocated space and click next and it should start installing.
