If the HDD is brand new, you have to go into disk management and format a partition.
If you mean individual files, move them to the HDD in file explorer.
If you mean full programs, uninstall and reinstall but use the HDD as the install location.
If you mean games on steam, you can create a new library on the HDD and uninstall and reinstall games to that library.

Your OS is on the SSD?

What are you looking at to store on the HDD?
Generally, it is pretty easy. Windows and applications have gotten really good at using more than one drive.

For instance, Steam games.

Steam games location
In the steam client:
Steam
Settings
Downloads
Steam Library Folders
Add library folder

Also:

To move an already installed game
Games library
Right click the game
Properties
Local Files
Move Install Folder

The HDD is labeled as B: and it only has 579MB which is very weird considering it has 1 tb, but it also says 930 GB not allocated. What does that mean? And when creating a new SteamLibrary in steam it says i only have 542MB. I would really like to use all storage.

Please show us a screencap of your Disk Management window.
(easy fix, but I want to verify)
