I presume you have a windows 10 key go here click on the second one down with a usb stick in the machine you are using https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10 create the bootable install. Then start your new machine with the usb stick in it and install after completing can put the spare ssd in and select it in windows explorer and format it but make sure its the right disk.

Is the OS already installed, or are you installing it?

If you are installing Windows yourself, start by disconnecting the other drive (the HDD), that way the Windows install can't go anywhere except on the SSD, so there's no chance of making a mistake when choosing the destination drive for Windows.

When Windows is up and running, shut down & temporarily connect that other SSD to the cables which were previously connected to the HDD, then boot up again.

Transfer whatever files you need, then reformat that SSD in Windows before shutting down.

Take out the SSD you just formatted and reconnect the HDD.
