On Windows 10 click on the Cortana/Windows Search circle located next to eh start menu and search for Windows Defender. With this step you want to click on teh Windows Defender settings result and not the Firewall and Advanced.

You can also search for Recovery options settings to get to the correct place as well.

Alternatively you can click on the start menu, then the gear icon above the power button, followed by Update&Security followed by Recovery.

You should just be able to format the SSD first during the Windows installation process.
Completely format the SSD and then reinstall onto it.

You're trying to install to a tiny partition on that SSD.
You need to DELETE all existing partitions as part of this OS install.
