I just recently built a computer using the Windows 10 Home Edition OS.

When trying to save things or install games it only gives me the option to save on SSD, When i first booted the computer I had the option to save the OS to the SSD or the HDD so I'm assuming its installed correctly.

Now though I can't seem to find it, any help appreciated!

Go to Start and type Create and select Create and format hard disk partitions. HDD should be listed in Disk Management probably be Disk 1 select it or whatever Disk # is your HDD right click and select New Simple Volume than in pop up window specify size for partition usually just leave it unless you want more than 1 partition in which case set the size in MB and click Next than Next again unless you want it to use a different drive letter. Next screen keep Format this volume and make sure NTFS is file system which it should be and under Volume label add your label (I usually use DATA) select next again and Finish.
I know you could use command utility Diskpart also but a visual GUI is usually easier.
