So my computer has gotten a bit wonky so I backed up all my files and I plan on factory resetting my PC.
However I got a new 500gb 860evo SSD to use as a boot drive and want to use my previous boot drive as a storage drive along with my old HDD.
How can I do this if I want to wipe all my previous files?
Thanks in advance.

Do a fresh install. What make is your old SSD? most (not all) manufacturers have a toolkit where you can use to securely wipe the SSD by creating a bootable USB drive. Takes about a second to wipe it.
