New-ish ssd

[hconverse02]

So i took the ssd out of my mac laptop and put it in my windows pc.  Evidently, i ran duel boot on the ssd, so i can start up a current windows system on the ssd, but the macOS is still on the ssd.  I'd like to wipe the macOS partition, keep all the data on my 2 tb hdd and use the ssd as a boot/important file drive.

Just format the drive and then reinstall Windows.

But if i do this, will i still be able to boot from the ssd, move my games over to the ssd and play them?

If you install Windows to the SSD after wiping it, macOS will be gone, but it'll boot Windows just fine after selecting the SSD as the default boot drive. Once it's done (I recommend unplugging your current drive so you don't accidentally install over your games), you hook up the old drive and copy your stuff over.

So i've formatted the drive, do i get a fresh install of windows on it now?

Yeah, you boot from a USB and install Windows 10.
