Sometimes the Windows Boot Manager just chooses to boot from the older HDD.
What's best is for you to insert the Windows Installation USB/Disk and just format the older HDD using that.

Go in to your BIOS settings and make sure the boot order is set and saved as the SSD. You may not have saved the settings properly when you changed it the first time.
