Questions for installing Windows 10 on a new SSD

[AnothaOne]

So, I have a lot of questions regarding this topic.
Right now I have a 1TB HDD that has my OS (Windows 10), games, and programs installed on it.
I am going to buy a 250GB SSD and do a fresh install of Windows 10 on it. Here's the thing, how do I delete Windows 10 from the HDD after I do a fresh install on SSD while still keeping my games and other files on the HDD? I am basically going to use the HDD as a mass storage drive. Do I have to completely wipe the HDD? Can I just delete the Windows folder on the HDD? Deleting partitions would do the trick? Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated

Games and programs will need to be re-installed in any event. Anything that uses an installer embeds itself into Windows registry and won't work on another install of Windows. Deleting Windows is easy, just delete the folder.

Before installation, make sure that SATA is set to AHCI mode.
