I have a Wd blue 1tb formatted as mbr and when i try to install windows 10 on it a message is shown that windows cant be installed on this drive. Now I have bought a ssd to give my pc some room to breathe.

Now my question is that if I install Windows 10 as UEFI on ssd( formatted to GPT) will old hdd formatted as MBR be detected?
 
Solution
1st - disconnect all the other drives, while you install windows on your SSD.
2nd - no problem. Windows 10 supports both MBR and GPT drives. You can have couple in MBR, couple in GPT. All will be detected.
